Baptismal Gown
Here are a few pictures of Charlotte in her Baptismal Gown. It's the same gown that I wore when I was baptized as well as a few of my cousins, my sister and Stella. Our names are all stitched onto the slip (girls in pink and boys in blue) with the years dated. It's a nice thing to have in the family. Being the oldest grandchild, I'm now the "keeper" of it.

How neat that you have that gown in the family...good idea with the names sewn in! I had to buy a gown at Babies R Us and it is way frillier than my taste, but it was the best I could do. Who knew it would get worn three times? I'm hoping that the girls can wear my First Communion dress someday since my mom and two sisters all wore it too.
General warning...we are parents. Parents to children we adore. Parents to children that are the center of our attention. This means that most of the blogging will be about the children. Grandparents and aunts and uncles generally love this stuff...especially if they are out of town. Friends with children put up with it in order to have playdates (adult-only and children included) regularly. Others are often annoyed. You were warned.
