Our sweet baby Sterling was baptized April 20 among our most amazing family and friends. We were so honored to be able to use the "Barron baptismal gown". Brian and most of his cousins wore this gown when they were baptized and it is made with the lace of his grandmothers wedding dress, how cool is that?! The only thing about this particular gown is the neck is pretty small so if we wanted to use it we had to get her baptized fast!! It was good though because it just put a little fire under me to get organized and get it done!!! One of the things I love about the way they do baptisms at our church is that they have a private ceremony so it feels so much more personal and you don't have to worry about interruptions from a certain two year old!!! Speaking of that sweet two year old, I think there are just as many pictures of him from this morning as there are of Sterling! Of course, he always steals the show and had a great time with a big audience to entertain!

Okay so I am annoyed that I couldn't get these two pictures to line up but here is a quick comparison showing how much Sterling looks like Brayden! Brayden was baptized at four months though so is quite a bit older in this picture

Afterwards we had everyone over for lunch. We all had a great time, Sterling got passed around plenty, and Brayden had a BLAST playing and loved all the attention!
