At the open house.Today, Addie was christened at St. Luke's United Methodist Church. We had a huge gathering of family & friends attend the service with us. The church looked amazing in all of it's glory of the Christmas season. They had a 30 piece orchestra play along with the choir. The performance was amazing to say the least. Addie "talked" the entire time of her baptism, but didn't mind the sprinkle of water on her head. She looked so beautiful in her white gown. She is the second generation of "Newton" girls to wear this gown, so it was very special. She conked out cold in my arms for the remainder of the sermon.
After the service everyone headed back to our home for an open house. I will have to say that Doug's and my hard work yesterday, paid off ten-fold today. We put on quite the party and the spread, if I do say so myself! It was so much fun just to sit and visit with the people who mean the most to us. Addie is so very lucky to be blessed with such a wonderful group of family and friends who are committed to seeing that she is raised to be a Christian. The sermon today talked of our cups and how they runith over with all of the blessings in our lives. It is truly a blessing just to wake up each day and live a life as good as ours. Addie will never know just how much she has made our cups runith over.
Addie, may God bless you and guide you with His grace and presence all your days through. Love - Mommy & Daddy
