I give you Addison!

Yesterday we baptized Addison at Holy Family in Kirkland. The mass was at 11:00 am, and I was a nervous wreck, worried that she was going to scream the entire time, just as she did during the rehearsal. To all of our surprise, she was an absolute angel! The minute we took her clothes off and wrapped her in the white towel, she was all smiles. She associates being naked with bathing, so we knew she'd like being baptized! After we dunked her and the priest poured the water over her head, Chris lifted her up in the air, just like Simba in the Lion King. It was priceless. She was as happy as could be, looking all around and loving it. Afterwards, we dressed her in the same gown that both Chris and his brother wore when they were baptized. We then headed to our house to have lunch with our family, and Addison's god parents, Becca and Jeff. I have to say that I'm relieved that it's over and she did well! Whew!
