Baptism!

Sunday was a big day for me - I was baptized at Christ Episcopal Church in Woodbury.  Mommies were a little worried about me since I had an ear infection, but I was really well-behaved and seemed to enjoy the day.  I wore a dress from my Great-Great Grandma that's 112 years-old.  Mommy, Mamma, Aunt Gigi, Great Great Grandma Sassman, Great Great Aunt Sassman, Kristin, and Katie all wore this dress when they were baptized.  I also wore the cross necklace that Mommy wore when she was baptized.  (from Great Great Grandma Morawitz)  I also wore the shoes that all of my McNamara cousins wore.  (Grace, Lucy, Lauren and Ella)  After the ceremony, everyone came over to our house for a party.  Mommies and Grandma and Aunt Gigi made some delicious food for us, and I even got to try lasagna for the first time.  (I loved it!)  My family was so genergous throughout the entire process, and they gave me some wonderful gifts for me to remember the day.  Thank you everyone for being a part of it!
