Baptism… a while ago!

Sorry, yet again, for our tardiness in posting! The Sunday BEFORE Christmas, Alyssa was Baptized at Hope Lutheran Church in Wake Forest, NC. Most of the family was able to attend (we very much missed Aunt Allison, though, who was at work in Winterpark, Colorado)... great grandmother, grandparents and aunts and uncles on both sides! It was a very nice ceremony and she didn't make a peep (at least, until AFTER we sat back down!) She wore the dress that Tula made for Aunt Ashleigh's Baptism when she was a baby, and a sweater made by MY Great Grandmother! The Seam Team made her a beautiful quilt to remember her day, and Aunt Ashleigh and Uncle Jeff (the Godparents) were given cards to send her on her first 12 Baptism Birthdays. We had a really nice day!

Tula and Seanachai gave Alyssa her very first cross to commemorate the day, as well as a cute hat and purse set. Grammie and Grandpa Harke gave her an engraved picture frame. Aunt Ashleigh made her a beaded bracelet. The Schandert family gave her her first Bible and a sweet picture frame. As always, what a lucky little girl!
