Such a Special Day

 Sunday, August 7th we had Ella baptized at our church, Grace Fellowship United Methodist.  It truly was a day I will never forget, so special and meaningful.  Warning:  There are LOTS of pictures in this post but this is essentially our scrapbook so I had to include them all :).  Thanks to everyone who helped us celebrate Ella's baptism and her acceptance into Christ's kingdom.

 I love this baby girl!

 Ella wore three beautiful dresses, this is the one she wore to church!

 Ready to be baptized.  Her dress is a family heirloom on Gigi's side.  Jason's grandma, Nana bought the dress in Italy and all the girls have worn it to be baptized.  I LOVED seeing Ella in this beautiful, meaningful dress.

 Our family

 I love this pic.  Griff was quite the chatter box during the service so Daddy was telling him to "shhh" which usually only make him talk louder...HA

 Sweet angel.  She wore my gold cross necklace and baby bracelet from when I was baptized.

 We are honored to have Conner and Leslie, Uncle Concon and Aunt Lele, as Ella's Godparents!

 Mommy, Ella, and Godfather Concon.  This is her third dress which is hard to see, but it was a beautiful pink and white dress that my mom bought her to wear at the party.

 Ella is so blessed to have two Great Grandmas, Bop and Nana
