Claire's Baptism!

 
The day after Claire's birthday was another wonderful day...we had Claire baptized!  I tried to get a photo of her outside our beautiful church but it was so bright, this was the best we could get. :)  She is wearing the baptism dress that we bought her in China.
 Waiting for church to start.  Look at that little smile.
 Some of our family waiting for church to begin!
 My parents took a few photos of the actual ceremony.
 I love this, my sister Laura wanted to hold Claire and she agreed!  She loves her auntie!
 Our family with the Pastor.
 After the ceremony we of course had to take a bunch of photos!

What a beautiful day! So memorable too since it was the day after her birthday. I'll bet Ryan's parents were happy they were in town for all the festivities. I have to smile...did Laura and your families plan your outfits? You all have excellent taste, obviously! Love seeing the pictures of beautiful Claire and the whole gang.

Man that girl is beautiful! We love your family and your little girl, and we were so proud and honored to be her godparents.
