Sadie's Baptism Weekend

We had Sadie's baptism on Sunday, December 6th. Sadie's Godparents are our next door neighbor's and great friends, Ryan and Mindi Dippold. They are very special people in our lives and we are so happy to have them as Sadie's Godparents.

We love you Sadie Lee!

Our family picture before we went to church. I am glad we decided to get a picture before church because Rylee was tired and crabby after the mass and ceremony so we didn't get any good family pictures.

Sadie and her Godparents


"Godparents are a special gift of love,
blessed by God above,
helping in every way,
to guide me in God's way."

I had to include this picture too. It shows Ryan's fun personality :)

Sadie was such a good girl all through mass and the ceremony. A little wiggly and nosy at times but that's normal for her. She didn't cry or fuss at all. Rylee on the other hand did not like when Father Phil got too close to Sadie. During the baptism, with us all standing in front of the church, Rylee actually told Father Phil "no, no, no" when he was baptizing Sadie and pouring the holy water on her. Luckily Father Phil is a good sport and laughed and said that Sadie has a good big sister who is watching out for her. It was kind of funny though.

I thought this picture was pretty neat with the cross and light in the background.

All bundled up after the ceremony.

Sadie was fast asleep (and so was Rylee) by the time we got home.

After the ceremony we came back and had an Italian dinner and cake and ice cream at our house. Unfortunately none of our family was able to make it down for the weekend but our great friends, the Kreider's (Rylee's Godparents) were able to make it. We were so glad that they came and joined us for Sadie's baptism weekend. It meant a lot to us to have them there as well. We are so blessed to have such great friends and to have them be a special part in both of our daughters' lives.

I really wanted to get a picture of all the girls dressed up on Sunday but since my girls fell asleep right after the baptism I never got a picture. But we did get some other pictures from the weekend.

The 4 of them in their jammies Saturday morning. Its funny cause they all have the same "duh" look on their face .

Maddy and Rylee enjoying their suckers.

Saturday night we had our "Christmas party" together. We always have a gift exchange with the Kreider's. Once again they spoiled our girls. The Little People Nativity Set was "the gift to give" this year. We got it for Maddy and Mylee, the Kreider's got it for Rylee, and the Dippold's got it for Sadie. None of us knew that we were giving it to each other so it was kind of funny. All the girls love it though so that is good. Rylee talks about Baby Jesus now all the time.

Maddy loved her Baby Alive doll.

Rylee's enjoying opening her gifts too.

I love these girls!

Thanks to the Dippold's and Kreider's for making this a special weekend for our family. Thanks to Jason for taking all the pictures too!
