Terefech's baptism

We had Terefech baptized the Sunday after Thanksgiving. It was special to have her baptized in the church where we were married as well as where Declan was baptized. She was definitely a little scared on the day of the event. We had gone to the church several days before so she could see the church, understand what was going to happen. She loved the church, ran up and down the aisles, climbed under pews and made us think she would jump from the balcony! The minister did a great job explaining to her about her baptism. I think she is beginning to understand all of it or at least pretends to1
For several generations, my family has been wearing a baptism dress that we think dates before 1900. Since Terefech was much to big for that, my mom located a dress that looked similar to it so her picture can join the rest of the family.

We don't have stained glass windows at the church we attend so she loved the huge, beautiful windows.
