Baptism

We had the girls baptized yesterday.

When we found out that I was having twins, one of my moms biggest concerns was what they would wear for baptism. We have an antique dress that is over 100 years old, that most of the family has worn including Connor and myself. Trying to be helpful, I asked if she would want to make one...and then suggested that she make it out of my shawl from my wedding dress! It had beautiful beading on both ends and I thought it would be perfect. She agreed, but had an awful time making the first cut, the rest is history!

They were beyond beautiful, the pictures don't do them justice!! It is a bit sad that they only wore them for such a short time. Especially after all the time my mom put into them.

Their bonnets are made out of a hankie. A few snips and it can be their something old on their wedding day. I had one that I got for my baptism and loved having it to carry
on my wedding day.
We are going to do more photos later this week, maybe ones where they aren't so washed out?!
