This upcoming weekend is Lilah’s baptism and the celebration of it. After much discussion between Brady and I regarding when we should baptize Lilah, we have finally come to a conclusion. The date is set. We’ve met with the preacher and sorted out all the details. I bought her an adorable little dress (okay, TWO adorable little dress – I just couldn’t decide).<\/p>\n

For weeks now, I’ve been practice-singing the traditional baptism song to Lilah:
Lilah, Lilah, God Claims You
God helps you, protects you, and loves you too.
We this day do all agree, that in God’s eyes, you’ll always be.<\/p>\n

Ok, now don’t quote me on those lyrics – but I LOVE that song. And, conveniently, so does Lilah! I think she likes hearing her name in it. Plus, it’s better than the “I see you’re hynie” tune that I was singing before this.<\/p>\n

Anyways, in preparation for the celebration, I’ve been having some fun. It all started with these great damask paper plates\/cups\/napkins that I picked up at Wally World a long time ago on a great discount. I thought some day I’d use them when one of my girlfriends needed a bridal shower, but alas, this came first.<\/p>\n

I loved the colors mostly, but also the pretty pattern. So I decided to make this a theme for the baptism party and have been working on some fun decorations to match:<\/p>\n

These little picks are for the (chocolate, or course) cupcakes that are yet to be made. Found the idea on flickr.<\/a><\/p>\n

And I’m not quite sure where the garland is going to go, but thought it seemed fun anyways.<\/p>\n

Anyways, we are getting very excited for the festivities this weekend – especially because we get to see all our nieces and nephews from out of town. We’ve been telling Lilah what a special day this is and even took her to the church service last week instead of leaving her in the nursery. I think she’s excited too \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
