Tess got baptized...

Tess was baptized on August 11th at Strake Jesuit at the Chapel onsite. Fr. Lahart performed the ceremony, he also married Clayton and I.

Before the ceremony we got a three generations picture. Tess was really interested in everything else and didn't want to look at the camera.

Here are some pictures of before the ceremony and during it. My mom made Tess's baptism dress out of her wedding dress. I wore a portion of her veil when I got married and the lace on her dress matched the veil. The dress was amazing.

My brother, Matt is Tess's Godfather. He flew in from Tampa so he could be here for the ceremony. Clayton's cousin, Meredith is Tess's Godmother. She stayed an extra day in town so she wouldn't miss the event. She left to go back to Lubbock very early the next day.

A few of Tess's great-grandparents were able to make it down for the baptism.

And just for fun.. this is what happens when a bunch of people are taking pictures all at once. We are all not looking at the same camera.
