Gracie's Baptism

just before christmas baby gracie had her baptism... so cute... so she wore the scharft family baptismal gown... which is very old... i am not sure how old, but i think my mom's oldest brother was baptised in the same gown... that would have been 60 odd years ago... anyway, gracie was such a doll, she was dressed up and looked so darn cute... see for yourself.

this is the gown... isnt it just beautiful... i just love how delicate it looks... just beautiful.
little gracie with her hands nicely folded... what a darling


everyone praying... even gracie looks like she is praying... and even when she was being baptised, she didn't even make a peep... she squirmed around a lot, but no crying.

i just love this picture cause of her forehead... and well as i said before, what a cutie pie...

these are the little frilly bum tights that she was wearing that day... my mom got them for her even before she was born... not knowing if it was a girl or boy, so thankfully gracie is a girl so she can wear them... they are just too darn cute.

    Janice. I love the pic you have of the dress. It is very special. My Dad's Mother bought it for my parents when Uncle Harry was born. Everyone in our family and most of the grandchildren and some of the great grandchildren wore it. You did Jan and so have your other sibs. It is over 70 years old. A family treasure.

    Love, Mom
