Jillian was baptized last Sunday in Hallettsville. The baptismal dress that she wore has been in my mom's family since 1910. It was worn by my mom's mother and all of her aunts and uncles and many family members since then. Jillian was the 76th baby to be baptized in the dress. Of course with the dress being so old it always makes you a little nervous when you are the one in charge of it. You definately do not want to be the one to ruin it!
My uncle was there to baptize Jillian. He has baptized all of the great grandchildren in our family. Jillian didn't cry when he poured the water on her head but she sure did jump!

She was an angel during the ceremony so of course afterwards for pictures she was starting to get a little fussy.

We had a nice party afterwards at Mom and Dad's. We had a great turnout and it meant so much to us to have so many people there to celebrate with Jillian.
How wonderful! Addie was baptized today... within a week of each other!
