Madeline's Baptism

Madeline's Baptism was on Saturday, October 9, at St. Jude here in Baton Rouge. Father Trey presided over it. I was very curious about what was going to happen. We all went to Mass together. A lot of our family was there, too. Madeline wore a pretty white gown. Mommy told me that I wore the same one for my Baptism and so did Mommy! After Mass, we all gathered in the front for Madeline's Baptism. I got to stand in the front with Mommy, Daddy, and Madeline's Godparents, Uncle Donald and Aunt Emmy. I watched the entire time with very inquisitive eyes.

Father Trey asked everyone to make the sign of the cross on Madeline's forehead.

Then they all had to put their hands on her.

Then Fr. Trey poured water over her head.
She was really good and didn't cry at all.

Then Fr. Trey gave us a candle for Madeline to symbolize the light of Christ in her heart.

When it was over, he told me I could blow the candle out.

Here's a picture of me, Madeline, Mommy, Daddy, and Fr. Trey.

Thanks to everyone who helped make Madeline's Baptism so special for our family!
