Dear Journal,

Today was a special day. I got baptised at St. Barnabus Church!   My godmother is Karen White who is one of mommy's good friends. My godfather Steve Bier is one of daddy's good friends.  It was such a fun day.

I spent the morning with mommy, daddy, and Grandma and Grandpa Harasim.  I got to dress up in my fancy white dress from my Great Aunt Cindy, Nikki, and Great Grandma Lister.

We went to church around 10:30 and guess who was there?  Grandma and Grandpa Lister, Godfather Steve and his family and Godmother Karen and her husband. They all came for me! 

After mass we stuck around and mommy changed me into another pretty dress.  Mommy told me it was the same dress she wore 31 years ago at HER baptism.  Cool!

There was a special ceremony and a priest came around and made a cross on my forehead. I decided about that time I was sleepy.

I fell asleep and kind of woke up when I felt water on my head....didn't that priest know that I already had a bath? 

Then I got a special bib and Godfather Steve lit a candle. Father Tony came around and put a cross on my forehead again.

Everyone at church said I looked pretty cute.

Then we got to go back to the house and PARTY!  It was fun to have all four of my grandparents there.

Everyone came over and we ate lots of great food.  I changed into my Colts cheerleader outfit and got to play while everyone had a great time.  (Look, I'm smiling for the camera!)

I'm so lucky to have such great people in my life. I got a lot of really nice gifts and just had a great time.

I was so happy that everyone was there that I barely even got to take a nap.  Even after people left I stayed up to play with my Noah's Ark gift from Grandma and Grandpa Lister. I sure am tired now!  I can hardly keep my eyes open! 

What a special day! Thanks to everyone who shared it with me!
