I need to back up a bit here. I definately need to document a few of our great achomplishments and happenings here in the Boynton Family. And Ashley's beautiful Baptism needs to be represented FOR SURE!
It was a gorgeous day! And it just all fell into place perfectly. I unfortunately cut the guest list down quite a bit compared to our usual Boynton parties. I mostly feel bad taking up so many of peoples precious weekends!! And really just with my siblings and Scott's and parents and grandparents- we have quite a party anyway.
Ashley's Godparents are my brother Douglas and my cousin Karen. Perfect! She is very lucky!
The day started out wonderfully- I decided to have Jewel do the work for me! Sandwich trays and cake from there made the event so stress free! Unfortunately not cheap! But soooo worth it! We even made it to church on time and had seats all together near the front. It was a great mass and the kids did great! Unfortunately we are not at church often- can I even say that? The last Zach was in Church was his baptism...I think and am pretty sure.
The baptism itself was great. Ashley did wonderfully and Jenna and Zach got to participate some too. Scott's sister Cindy did a reading and Jenna joined her at the podium. And then Zach and Jenna got to put their hands in the baptismal waters to help bless it. Very nice.
Then we enjoyed the hot day back at our place! Which was hot- but ok to be outside. Sprinkler for the kids and we're good! :) I tried to keep Ashley in her dress as long as I could! She just looked so beautiful... plus it was great because I got it for a great price and really shopped around for it. It was perfectly light weight enough too.
I can't thank the Lord and everyone enough for giving us such a perfect day for our baby girl!
This is the picture I used for Ashley's Baptism Invitation- 7 months old.
Do you see her? So cute! And thank you Auntie Cindy!
