God Bless McKenna Jo

Last Saturday, October 14th, we were very blessed. It was McKenna's Baptismal Day and we were fortunate to have friends & family come from near and far to help us celebrate.

Brian & I had decided to wait to have McKenna baptised until we were moved into our new house. We wanted to be able to have the party and show off our house!

Some of our family from Ohio came in on Friday night, so our weekend of fun began as we headed over to my mom & dad's.

McKenna's Baptism was at the 5pm church service at Bethany Lutheran Church in Naperville .(the church Brian & I were married!) So we decided to fill the day with celebration. The party at our house began at 1pm and then continued after the service...it sure was a fun-filled blessed day!!!
