Many braved the elements of a snowy Sunday to come celebrate Ella's Baptism at St. Mary's Church in Crown Point on Sunday, December 27th. It was a very touching ceremony at the church followed by an afternoon reception of friends and family. Ella looked absolutely radiant in her gown (that her daddy picked out!). Very sweet. Ella's Uncle Eric was her Godfather and Aunt Sarah was her Godmother. Special thanks to them for being such a big part of her day and their commitment as Godparents. Our good friends, the Sparks, were able to attend which was so special to us! Thank you again Bardot for all your lovely photos you took at the event. Also we were fortunate to have Uncle Stanley Opach recording the whole ceremony! We can enjoy the memories visually for years to come. It was nice to see family from afar such as Aunt Lori, Uncle Eric, cousins Sarah and Libby who traveled to be there. It is always a great time when our families come together! Here are a few snapshots from the day. May God Bless Ella!
Do you have the pic of me and ben with ella (and you & mike) at the church? Could you email it to me?
