Easter Baptism

Adam and I traveled to Omaha over Easter to meet our little nieces, Kennedy Blair and Raleigh Brook, born January 12 to Christopher and Amanda Barondeau. Adam informs me that Kennedy is on the right.

We had one quick weekend to cram in an early morning Easter service, a brunch buffet, Kennedy and Raleigh's baptism, gift opening, cake, and family photos, of course. 


I feel like this photo could be a public service announcement for teen pregnancy. Don't do it, kids!

Honestly, though, Tyler was quite the baby-whisperer. He only got spit up on once.

Mom posed for a photo with the girls in their baptismal dresses, crocheted by my grandmother.

Christopher speedily changing Kennedy out of her baptismal dress and into her formal gown. It's like Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding dress and her second reception gown, but with more cameras.

Someone is not happy with the fashion choice, but I think you look amazing.

The baptism was held at St. John's Parish on the campus of Creighton University. Christopher has one week of classes remaining until graduation, so he was undoubtedly trying to cram in as much college charm as he could.






Adam and Kennedy with Matt and Raleigh. They make it look so easy.




The godparents. Bold choice.


Now you know it's about time to wrap up the photos. You can only take so many family photos before someone will start to cry, although usually it's me.



It turned out to be a beautiful Easter in Omaha, just warm enough to head outdoors yet wintry enough for a weekend of celebratory cakes.

Nicole I love the photos and the expression of Adam and Kennedy. I might be a little bias toward all the subjects. Love MOM B
