Baptism and Blessing

Ralphie and Avery share the same baptism/blessing day.  Ralphie showed up to the baptism on Saturday in his little reindeer sweatsuit pictured above because I thought we were blessing him at church the next day.  But when Eric said the opening prayer, he mentioned the blessing.  So we had miscommunicated and I didn't know the blessing was to happen at the baptism.  It was for the best because my family had all come, except Melissa and the kids couldn't make it, but the boys (Trav and Ty) couldn't stay for church the next day.  So they all got to be part of blessing little Ralphie in his reindeer get-up.  I already forgot what was said.  One day I will get back into journaling!  But the baptism was beautiful.  Nana and Aunt Bre gave great talks and cousin Lane gave the closing prayer.
