God Bless our niece, Giuliana Grace

Sunday our niece Giuliana (my brother Alex and Gina's baby) was baptized.  She wore the beautiful gown that all of our babies have worn.  The one my great grandmother made and is over 50 years old.  I love this tradition in our family.  Every time I see it I think how beautiful it is.


Gina and her mom getting Giuliana all ready...



This would be Sailor 'pre-baptism' starting her morning off right with some toast...she's a carb lovin' type girl
 I pulled out her Christmas dress for the occasion.  I love this dress and I thought I'd get some more use out of it.

 waiting patiently in church...



Grey was very proud of himself...he had an important job of holding the candle...he did very good;)




Godparents were Gina's sister Karla and my dad...


 grandmas and grandpas...great grandmas and great grandpas :)




and just a few more of my loves just because...

Happy Friday!

Almost forgot...we went to St.Louis;)


It's been about three weeks or so but the whole family went to St. Louis to see my brother.  Trust me I would not forget visiting with family and enjoying my children in almost 70 degree weather in the middle of winter.  We had a lot of fun.

Funny conversations, cousins running from one end of the house to the other, dance parties in the kitchen, girl time, home cooked meals, some fun at the hotel pool, a new puppy.......the list goes on and on.....

Jayne is a wizard of oz lovin' type of kid...She would sit and listen to Georgia read it to her all day long if she could...

afternoon snooze...


 boys will be boys...



 playing with mirrors i guess and yes with my shades on....
(sidenote...Adam and Georgia just bought a house that they've been working really hard on....they knocked down walls....remodeled a kitchen...all new flooring...however, the pink/peach bathrooms will probably be next;)  I say it gives it some character for now...


 a little lunch break between play...



back to the hotel to swim...

 Sailor wanted nothing to do with swimming...so she sat and had just as much fun watching the other kids...




this is a little bit of that dance party we had....i believe we rocked out to 'Gangnam Style' - they had the video up on the laptop copying the moves - it was hilarious....





And Aunt Amy also surprised Livy with a puppy...this was part of her Christmas present but they were not able to pick it up until now....it was also close to where Adam and Georgia live so it worked out pretty good....the kids were in love...
 
Livy named her 'Chanel'....i love it....and yes that's Chanel as in  the ultimate luxury brand for fashion accessories...;)  Although whenever I see her I go as far as to call her "chanel gucci prada" haha!

 My mom still does my hair every once in a while:)



 After a nice big healthy breakfast at the hotel we called it a weekend...
 Always fun in St. Louis...



Sailor says PEACE OUT!
