This weekend, February 18, 2012 Eva was baptisted. We were so excited. I've never met a kid more ready to be baptized and have such a strong understanding of what it meant. It was really cute to see.
Here she is all dressed up in her white baptism dress. The dress has "banana straps" (I guess this means they are wider than the more risky spaghetti straps). She still felt like the dress was a little "inappropriate" (who taught her that word?!?), and so I had to max out my sewing skills and make her a little white shall to cover up her shoulders.
She looked like an angel.
Since we were already taking pictures, we decided to get the whole family together. Unfortunately we were faced right into the sun. We took about 100 pics before we got one with everyone squinting in the sun and smiling at the same time.
My images of a quiet, super spiritual baptism went out the window once Dave and Eva started dancing a jig. Between their dancing and Porter in the background trying to peek into the baptismal font, I knew I was lucky to get one serious picture!
This picture of Eva and two of her really good friends totally cracks me up. I guess washing away sins doesn't include washing away all the silliness.
