Claire's Christening

048
On Saturday AM, our little Claire-Bear was christened in a super simple ceremony by a local deacon.  Mark grew up Catholic, so this is an important tradition in his family.  To us this was a sweet dedication and blessing.

Despite the horrible pictures, it was a very special time.

We got no pictures of Claire in her beautiful little dress, which was purchased by her God-Mother, Aunt Janie.  She looked so precious though, even after the oil and water!

lovely! dan and i grew up lutheran and all of our kids were baptized. it's very important to both of our families. my dad is a pastor and there actually is a biblical basis for infant baptism. it's really not a cut and dry issue either way. if our kids choose to be re-baptized some day that is a-ok with us, however we are also fine with them choosing not to be. it's up to them. :)

very sweet pics. you all look so nice! you are a gorgeous family!
