Even though Lexie turned 8 in January, she waited patiently for
Easter weekend to celebrate her birthday.
She wanted her whole family there when her dad baptized her.
Even though Grandparents couldn't make it for Lexie's special day, she was able to wear the same dress that Alyssa did for her baptism in 2000. It was custom made by Grandma Nancy.
The usual suspects were present for the big day.
No one told me to wear white! ;(
The after shot. Wearing her special new Easter dress, a sweater that was mine
when I was a girl, and a scarf purchased for her on the steps
of the Vatican. Isn't she beautiful?
After the baptism, Lexie and her friends adjourned to the cultural hall for...
gourmet cupcakes made by Alyssa and me. Yes, we are a bit too addicted to the Food Network.
But you gotta admit, they do look amazing!
It was really fun for Lexie to have her friends there to support her,
and give presents of course!
All in all, it was a pretty amazing day and she said it was TOTALLY worth the wait!
