Madelynn's Baptism

Madelynn Renee was baptized on September 27th at 6:30 p.m. at Trinity Lutheran Church. This is the church that Andy and I were married at and also where big brother Hayden was baptized. Her Godparents are Auntie Heidi and Uncle Jake. Madelynn was lucky enough to wear a gown that was made by her Great Grandma Bousia's mom. All of Great Grandma Bousia's children (aka Andy's dad) wore this gown when they were baptized and I believe most of her grandchildren as well. It is a beautiful lace gown with a silk gown that went underneath. It fit her wonderfully. Thank you Bousia for letting us borrow it.

Before the ceremony we had a gathering with Andy's side of the family at their family restaurant. Both Great Grandparents came as well as some of Maddy and Hayden's Great Aunties and a second cousin. It was so nice of everyone to make the trip as they came from Kenosha WI and IL to meet Madelynn. Maddy wore an adorable pink dress during the day that she had received from her Great Aunt Jan and Uncle Dave when she was born.

Maddy received some lovely gifts from those who came, adorable outfits, socks, shoes, personalized books, quilt, savaings bonds, piggy bank and a letter about her great great grandmother (Andy's mom's side) - she was born the same day as her. Even her big brother Hayden received gifts which he loved, so thoughtful
