Jonna's Baptism


On our way to her big day!

Snoozed all through Church!

Proud God parents, Jessica and Jason

Proud Family!

She was so good!

Look at that crew! My entire family was there with all the cousins. Only one missing out was my brother Tommy who is away traing in the military for a tour in Afganistan. And Jessica, Jake's sister and her kids made it also!

The baptismal candle lit from the Eternity candle as seen below is held by the parents and godparents to symbolize that all of us will be good role models for Jonna and help her be raised with a strong Christian faith.



Being baptized with water

And annointed with oil on her chest.


Group pictures with Godparents and Father Ben, who held a great ceremony. He was so great with the kids, and then kept calling our Benjamin, Father Ben. :)

Had to get a picture of the Godfather holding her too!

It was such a great day! We even celebrated with a big meal at Steve's afterwards. MMMM. gotta love the fried chicken, potatoes gravy, cole slaw, applesauce, and more. I think I get hungry writing about it!! HA!

Thanks to everyone for making it a great day for Jonna!
