We had Lena baptized at First Lutheran Church in Attica, IN. This is the same church where my mom, uncle, brother and I were all baptized, so I wanted Lena to be baptized there as well. It was a beautiful little service, and of course I cried. Lena was crying and carrying on during the beginning of the service, but when it came time for her to be 'on stage' she was just a sleeping beautiful baby!
My best friend since preschool, Shelley Crawford, was home from China (where she works) and was one of Lena's Godparents. My brother and his wife served as Godparents as well. Lena didn't mind the water on her head at all, and even smiled a little.
After the service, we had a wonderful reception at my mom's house. This served as a 'meet the baby' party, since we did not have a shower in Attica before she was born. The house was packed with people, and I had a wonderful time talking with everyone and seeing everyone! Some people I hadn't seen since way before our wedding, and it was really wonderful that they came to celebrate Lena. We had ice cream sundaes and sangria!
Lena received so many cute, great gifts at that party... it took me forever to write all the Thank-Yous!
Lena and I stayed the night at my mom's, and came home the next day to see Justin.
