Will's Baptism

It is really hard to imagine that it has been over two years since we had Maeve's baptism!  Time sure does fly!  This past Saturday (February 6th) Will was officially baptized.  Shannon's Mom, Step-Dad, and Sister all came up from Texas for the occasion.  It was great having all of them up to Minnesota again, they even got to see some snow fall!  Will's Godparents are my cousin Adam, and Shannon's ex-step-mom, Nadine.  They were both very proud and honored that we asked them, and I am very sure they will keep him pointed in the right direction!

The ceremony went very well.  Will didn't start fussing or crying until the last couple of pictures well after the ceremony was over.  Maeve did very well also, she started getting a little hyper when the Pastor was talking, but overall, for a 2 1/2 year old, I was pleased!  We had the same Pastor that married Michael and Jess do Will's baptism, the Pastor that we had perform Maeve's baptism, our wedding, my baptism, had recently passed away.

After the ceremony, we had everyone back to our house for a brunch.  The food was great and we had just enough so everyone had plenty, but we didn't have that much left over!  Maeve was a huge helper with opening presents and she made sure and showed Will each one before she moved onto the next one!

Overall, the entire day was great!  The kids were good, the food was good, and everyone seemed to have had a good time!  I would like to thank everyone that attended and helped us with Will's baptism.  It really does mean a lot to us!  Also, a special thank you to Mom and Dad for taking pictures and getting us copies, so we had one less thing to worry about!
