This weekend we celebrated Caroline's Baptism. She did great throughout the entire Mass and we were so proud of her! Afterward, we hosted a luncheon at our house and it was great to catch up with everyone we hadn't seen since the holidays.
One of the most thoughtful gifts that Caroline received was a handmade bonnet from all of my mom's sisters. It was made out of one of my Grandmas Buchheit's handkerchiefs and rosette buttons. It was SUCH a special gift since she is no longer with us. She knew that I was expecting Caroline and was always checking in on how I was doing. We miss her so much and it was nice to have a special item of hers for Caroline that day :)
The bonnet was a little small...or Caroline's head is a little large :)
Brooke had the BEST time at Mass that day. She could not believe that everyone from both sets of her grandparents to all of her aunt's, uncle's and cousins were there! She just kept yelling out all of their names as she spotted them. She is going to be pretty disappointed at church next week when it is only Gary, Caroline and me (and when we don't have cake when we get home).
Caroline's God-Parents are my sister Amy and Gary's brother Michael. Although, the priest did thank Gary for being her God-Parent which we were a little confused by...oh well!
