Over Martin Luther King weekend, Aly got baptized. It was such a wonderful weekend spent with family. Unfortunately, my mom couldn't be there :( But we understood, she had to take care of my grandmother.
Aly did so well during the service. We were nervous for a second and thought she was going to loose it when we handed her over to our minister. But I let Rob do it, because if it was me, then she would have definitely started to cry. Aly wore the same baptism gown that Madison, Ansley & Hailey wore. I am so glad all the Willson grand-daughters have been able to wear this gown. I definitely want to get the gown perserved so that when the little girls have their own daugthers they can wear this special gown.
After the service, we all went back to our house for nice brunch. I actually wasn't stressed about getting everything ready for us to eat since I was able to do everything the day/night before. We were able to enjoy some mimosas and bloody mary's while the food was cooking. We had a honey baked ham (thanks Nana & Pop Pop for buying it for us), green bean bundles wrapped in bacon, hashbrown casserole, rolls, and fruit salad. And to top it all off, we had some yummy cake! I had Harris Teeter make the cake, and it was delicious; however, it looked so ghetto (sorry if that offends anyone, but it was not what I had pictured). At least we can look back at it and laugh at the gold foil leaves on it :) ....Even though it looked this way, we still managed to finish it off!
We can't thank everyone (Aunt Kelly, Uncle Brent, Maddie, Hailey, Uncle Boo, Aunt CC, Pop Pop (and we know Nana would have been here if she could have), Pops, Mimi) enough for making the trip up here to witness Aly's baptism. It was a very special day to us!It was a very special day and we were very grateful our family was able to share it with us. We love you!

So happy we were able to be there for Aly's baptism. She did great at the service and just loved watching everyone. Thanks for letting us be apart of this special day! Wish we could have stayed longer -- well minus bearing the cold weather. yuck!
