Ava's Christening

Ava and Grandma Laurie



Sunday Ava and her cousin Cameron were christened. Ava "sang" and "talked" at all the appropriate times and it was a beautiful ceremony and it was wonderful seeing all of Ava's other grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins who I only get to see on special occasions.

Of course, there were pictures


Jamie, Ava, Cory, Godmother Bonnie, Godfather Chris

    Loved the pix, as always; she looks like the daintiest little thing. She's just precious; do I keep saying that?!

    Loved the Mama and Papa-razzi title. LOL! Then I saw all the wide open space in the rest of the picture and immediately got homesick. What a special day for Ava. By any chance is the dress new or has it been in the family? I only ask because I have a picture of my oldest in a Christining gown that was passed down thru her dad's family.

    Leslie - Thanks. :)

    Texas Gal - The dress was new, but Jamie's family has a silver bowl that has been used for baptisms for generations that was used for all the baptisms that day.
