Nora's baptism

It was a great day for baby Nora's baptism. After church we had a house full of people for soups/chili &sandwiches. The menu was a great idea since we could prepare everything ahead of time & just plug in the crockpots before church. Our families have grown a lot since the first time we had a crowd over for Charlie's baptism. It's much, much louder, too! 

Crazy cousins. H was a wild man - tons of blurry pics of him running off. haha

 Spent too much time taking cousin pics, Miss Nora was D-O-N-E. Also, as we were getting ready Charlie realized his black shoes he wore for Deb & Loren's wedding in September didn't fit. So he had his nice suit from the Tate brothers on with his tennis shoes :)

 Trying harder to be IN pictures!

Nora's baptismal gown was bought by my grandparents in Germany when I was a baby. The boys also wore it with a blue slip underneath Gma K made. Great Gpa is obsessed with Nora. We have a hard time getting pics because he cant stop staring at her. Our kids are so lucky to have 2 sets of grandparents & 2 sets of great grandparents so involved in their lives.

nora is lucky to have great baptismal sponsors - sarah & dallas!
