Sabrina's Baptism

We finally had Sabrina Baptized on November 13th, 2011 at St. Charles Church in Greenville, Michigan. We had a hard time deciding on Godparents for our little girl as there are plenty of females on Herm's side but not a lot of males. Since we picked from my side for Emilia we wanted to pick from his side for Sabrina.

Here we are after the Baptism with Father Mike. Emilia didn't do so well during the baptism and was trying to find any excuse to leave. We are not sure what set her off but we managed to get through her crying and get sister baptized.

Here is Sabrina with her Godparents. We choose Herm's niece Elizabeth and Herm's childhood friend Chris Lauria. He also did us the pleasure of filling in at our wedding at the last minute when we had a groomsmen bail on us. It took us a while to decide who her Godparents were going to be but we are very satisfied with our choices and hope that Sabrina will be too when she gets bigger!

Little Miss Grabby got a hold of her cake as we were trying to take a picture of her with it during her party at Pizza Hut. It will be fun at her first birthday to see her with her cake if this was a preview :)

Sabrina recieved some wonderful presents in which we thank you all for giving them to her. This is her new lamb that says a bedtime prayer. She loves the softness of it!

Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween!!! Only a month late LOL! I keep saying that I am going to try to update the blog better but I just keep forgetting about it for some reason. Maybe because most of the people that read this are on facebook. Anyways I am going to try to do a couple of posts today and hopefully catch up with where we are in life at the moment.

Halloween went very well for us. We had pretty decent weather. No rain and it wasn't too cold. Emilia was Ariel for Halloween. Ariel is her favorite Disney Princess and since she had an Ariel birthday it was no surprise to us that she wanted an Ariel dress. The minnie ears came about because I was wearing my halloween pumpkin Mickey ears that I bought last year at Disney World so she thought she had to wear hers too. Emilia started off a little slow with trick or treating and refused to get out of the stroller. After a couple blocks she finally got into it. Then came the phrase of the night, "I gotta get more candy!" She would say this everytime we left a house. This was most definately our longest night of trick or treating so far. It was fun to see her get into halloween this year.

Sabrina on the other hand had a good time hanging out in her stroller. She went trick or treating for 30 minutes before Herm took her back to Me Jo's house. Sabrina went as a Baby Witch as Granny always calls Sabrina her Baby Witch. So we figured that would be the perfect costume this year. Sabrina held onto those 2 butterfinger candy bars almost the entire time she was out trick or treating. I think she liked the crinkling and bright yellow of the wrappers.

Overall it was a good Halloween and we are still eating candy a month later!
