Yesterday Caroline was baptized at Trinity United Methodist Church during the 11:00 service.   Both of our families and some very dear friends were there.  Caroline was an absolute doll!!  She looked like an angel and behaved like one as well.  I had been stressing for weeks about this day and I can honestly say that everything went off without a hitch - it was perfect!!  I had prepared a lot of the food and everything was delicious.  The house looked wonderful.  Caroline was perfect.  I couldn't have asked for a better day.  We were lucky to get to share the day with some friends of ours.  Ashley and Darren were also baptising their son, who is only a week or so younger than Caroline.
Both familes

We had our families over to our house for brunch after the service.  I only got a picture of one table and none of the food or flowers - but trust me when I say that everything was picture perfect!!

Caroline modeling her gown.  We did not have a family gown so we bought one that all our our children can wear.  It's beautiful.  It's a simple cotton gown with ribbon trim and an embroidered cross at the top.  It's exactly what I pictured when we started looking for gowns.  

She got some wonderful gifts but she was most excited about the ribbon!!
