Baptism

February 10th, we had Lakyn baptized at our church--Christ the King Lutheran Church here in Salina.

She wore the baptism gown that mom wore, I wore, and Brynn wore!

Cute headband was from the Allen family and the blanket was one either my mom made or my 

Great Aunt--pretty cute combo!

We jazzed up the outfit a bit with cute tights--the weather was chilly and cute slip on sparkly, pink shoes!

Ready to go!

Pastor Geske and Lakyn--Pastor was out of town until Saturday and was going to take a break and not preach on Sunday--but when he found out about Lakyn's baptism, he agreed to come back to do her baptism for us--so thankful he would do that!  We also had the Praise Band play that day--which I love--so great service with friends and family and as Brynn said--"Our baby was so brave--she did not even cry!"  Very true--Lakyn was perfect!

Our family, Pastor, and Lakyn's Godparents

Lakyn's Godparents--David, Layne's brother, cousin Canaan and his wife Jess

Love this picture---Conner having a conversation with Jess and Lakyn!

The Grandparents

Aunt Kristi and Uncle Caleb--getting some good practice in before baby Davis arrives in August!

Great Grandma Dorothy

The cousins and their daughters--we have a very similar picture of Layne and Canaan holding Caden and Conner about 6 years ago!

Jess and I and our girls :)

We had a potluck meal afterwards at church with our family and our YABS friends from church--tons of good food!

Once again, Layne floored me with his artistic work on Lakyn's cake--a beautiful dove in honor of her baptism.  Caden had a Bible, Brynn a cross, and Lakyn a dove!  Way to go Layne!

Welcome to God's family Lakyn Marie Parry--what a special day!
