On Sunday, September 21st, 2014 Piper was baptized at Downtown Church by Amos Disasa. Piper had about 40 friends and family there specifically for her (in addition to the normal congregation). It was an absolutely beautiful day. As Grant and I took the commitment to raise Piper as a child of God, I was overwhelmed with emotion. The magnitude and importance of that commitment. It will truly take a village and a great village we have and they were all there to make that commitment with us. What an amazing feeling.
We hosted a brunch at our house for the 40ish people that came to help us make this large commitment. Piper had a lot of attention and LOVED every minute of it.
She also loved opening her presents. She had a lot of help from Brady and Avery. It was also Nanny's 79th birthday so we celebrated with her as well!! That hat is amazing!
We provided mini cupcakes for the Holy Interruption at church and I ordered these amazing cookies for the brunch at our house. My friend, Kat Watson Thompson, makes them and aren't they just perfect?
I couldn't love these girls more!! (both above and below)
Piper had such a great day and missed a nap, obviously. Being so cute is exhausting!
Bravery spent the night with Birdie and Bogey and they came over the next morning to play with Piper. My heart is so full when these 3 are together. I'm so thankful that they love Piper so much and they ;play so well with her.
Piper's Baptism day was absolutely perfect. I'm so thankful for our village and our little Child of God. We love you, Pi!
