This past Sunday Avery was baptized at our church, Rio Vista Community Church. It was such a special day for Kris and I. Watching our sweet baby be dedicated to the Lord was amazing and a moment I thought might never happen (see more here). Avery wore a dress that was made from my Mother in Law's wedding dress! I was so nervous that she was going to freak out when water hit her head...she is not a fan of water yet! But she was great and only let out a sweet wimper (not a red faced, back arched cry!) when our Pastor Tom baptized her. After the service we had our friends and family back to our home for a celebration party! I kept it simple with catered sandwiches, salads and some delicious desserts made by my mom and sister! Most of the decor was recycled from my baby shower or handmade so very little was spent! Here is a glimpse at the baptism and party :)
