Mason's Baptism

After several months of visiting, Chris and I recently joined Dunwoody United Methodist Church. We are so happy to have found a church for our family to be a part of. We both want Mason to have the same Christian background that we did growing up. We didn't exactly plan to get him baptized on Easter Sunday, but that's the way the schedule worked out. And we were very blessed to have both of our families stand with us for the ceremony. It was a beautiful Easter service and we were pleasantly surprised that Mason behaved the whole time (it definitely helped that he had a bottle and fell asleep).

After church, we had a lovely lunch at our house. I wish I had gotten some pictures at home - we were so excited that Bill, Maddy & Dillie joined us to celebrate. It was truly a special day!

Our little family before the service. Mason did not want to keep his socks on.

This was the best picture I had of the whole group.

Much better with us and Chris' parents.
Sitting with Uncle Lamar before the service. He clung to his Easter bunny the whole time (bunny even got baptized with him).
After the service (can you tell Mason just woke up?). Look at the beautiful Easter lilies!
Another picture with Nana and Grandpa.
And with his handsome Uncle Lamar. I just love the lily covered cross behind them. It was such a beautiful service!
