We celebrated Madelyn and Carrington's baptism yesterday in grad style surrounded by wonderful friends and family! The girls were baptized at St. Vincent's in Madison, where Nicholas had been baptized. We were lucky enough to share our baptism with another set of twins who turned out to be part of a family that we have known for many years! It was a wonderful surprise for all of us!!
The girls wore beautiful handmade Christening gowns with their names embroidered in the slips that were a gift from Grandma and Pop-pop. They were baptized with water that their big brother and sister brought to the font and helped to pour into it. It was a beautiful ceremony attended by so many of our friends and family, making it that much more special.
After the baptism we headed over to the Ambulance corps building and celebrated the girls with everyone. The kids had a wonderful time playing at the craft table and taking photos of themselves with our camera set up with a wireless remote. The adults were able to catch up and hold the girls and enjoy lots of delicious food from Grandpa's restaurant and Grandma's kitchen.
It was a beautiful day that was made that much more wonderful by the presence, help, and love of all of those who were with us. Our friends and family were so helpful and generous and we are so very lucky to have them in our lives and in the lives of our children! Thank you so much to everyone for being with us and helping us, not just yesterday but everyday! A special thank you to grandma and pop-pop for everything and my friend Kate for her fabulous picture taking and crafting guidance! And a very special thank you to the girls' godparents for being so willing to take on the role of godparent and helping us to raise our kids with wonderfully generous and good people in their lives! Thank you Michelle, Uncle Mike, Uncle Geoff and Aunt Meaghan!
