Saturday evening the family gathering continued at our house. You'll be surprised (not) to know that I took a lot of photos! Lucky for you all, many of them were blurry or otherwise flawed.
Sunday was Elise's baptism. Wearing a family gown that is 117 years old, Elise looked beautiful. To read more about that gown, please click here. Our daughter, Maria, already wrote up a nice post about it. The gown was made by Elise's great-great-great grandmother!

Great Aunt Sue had her turn as well.
A lot of visiting, game-playing and eating took place.

It was fun to have so much family together at a church service.

Yes, we do know how absolutely blessed we are to have so much family supporting and loving us!

It looks like you had such a lovely time with family.
I hope you get some rest now!
Thanks, Michelle! I'm doing well. Having Maria in town made it sooooo much easier as she cooked a couple of the meals and such. It was a really good visit.
