Sunday, December 13, was a very sweet day for our family
that centered around a holy ritual for us
it was the ceremony for the infant baptism for our third baby~
and while it was secondary to the importance of the day
it was also about the dress
while we had to endure the fact that Henry is pretty enough to be a girl~
and when wearing a gown he could be confused as a girl~
(something I'm sure his daddy had to come to terms with)
wearing the gown was a must
the last time the gown was worn was December 20, 2013
when Perrilyn Hazel was dedicated back to God soon after her birth
She wore it well
Betty could still wear the gown and was trying it on for us when getting it out of storage for Perrilyn
The first time the gown was worn
it was by Betty
December of 2007
today the gown will be neatly placed away
waiting on the next time...
what a lovely tradition

That really is a lovely tradition. We have a baptism gown that my husband's aunt made, both my kids wore it and some of their cousins wore it. I'm just waiting for my daughter to have a child so that it can get worn again.
Lovely tradition, lovely family, lovely babies. OMG
Hugs and kisses for the whole family, you are very sweet

Your post combined many of my favorite things: sentiment, tradition, and celebration. How lovely to share this special ceremony with us. Love the gorgeous dress and hat. Your babies are beautiful!
The gown is so beautiful...almost as lovely as those beautiful children (forgive me Henry, but you are beautiful!)
So sweet, Gina. The babies are growing up so fast and are precious. What a special day!
Henry seems happy and oblivious to the fact that he's in a dress! He's beautifully handsome.

It is a lovely tradition. I am the oldest and hold ours for the nieces and nephews. xoxo Su
