Baptism and Family Time

Our child could very well be the oldest baby every baptized...Not really, but she definitely was old :)  We wanted to make sure that my sister and her fiance could be in town and after Christmas, they weren't coming back until the summer.  And I did not have myself together at Christmas to even be able to think about planning anything.

So July it was.  Jodi, Mark, AND uncle Andrew all made it in town.  We hadn't all been in the same place since Christmas so I was really looking forward to spending time with everyone.

Nana and Grandpa Taylor were kind enough to host the lunch after mass.  The food was delicious!  And it was so nice to be able to have it in Grand Rapids so that extended family were closer and could come.  Thank you Nana and Grandpa!  

The guest of honor took a 2.5 hour nap so she missed almost the entire party.  But I guess this girl was tired!  

We also later realized her baptismal candle completely melted in the car.  It was such a hot day!

Staying up way too late but so worth it!

Uncle Andrew!

Aunt Jodi!  It's past Zoe's bedtime hence the tired look.

Playing with cousin Jayda.  I wish we lived closer so we
could have play dates!

Aaron's face is priceless when we realized the gown wouldn't fit over her head.  I guess
that's what happens when you are 9 months old AND your head is in the 90th percentile.

Thank you Aunt Becky for making the cake!
