Zoey's Baptism

December 20th, 2009 Zoey was baptised at New Hope United Methodist Church in front of many friends and family. She was such a trooper during the service and the baptism. She was just looking around, taking it all in. It was a very special day for all of us. Her dress was made by her Grammy, with a matching blanket. She also had a special blanket her Nannie brought, it was the same blanket that was used by her Daddy, her Uncle Jeff and many of her cousins when they were baptised as well.

Here are Zoey and her great-great Aunt Sissy sharing a few laughs before getting her dressed for church.

Her Aunt Sissy ALWAYS makes her smile!

Mommy and Daddy carried her up to begin the service.

Good thing Mommy isn't very good at giving baths, so Zoey is used to having water just about everywhere, so a little sprinkle on the head was nothing for her.

Zoey is such a special little girl. So many people came to see her baptised, the front of the church was over flowing!

Preacher Pete and Zoey took a stroll around the church to share her with the congregation and she just took it all in.

Waiting to go up for her big moment.

After the service, Grammy had arranged a very special lunch for Zoey and all her friends and family in the fellowship hall.

Here she is with her Mommy's Godmother Lawana.
