madeleine turned eight in december, which means that she was old enough to be baptized a member of our church. she has been very excited about this decision for a long time and it was good to see her take it so seriously.
in november, when my cousin, lucy, was here for thanksgiving, i had her take some impromptu pictures of madeleine in her baptism dress (it's the dress that i wore for my own baptism, which my mom made) so that we could use them with her baptism announcements. i'm glad that i thought to do it then because on the actual day of the baptism, i completely forgot to get a single picture of her in her dress. i wish i had some of her with the people that were there for the actual day, but these are pretty great to have.
this is the only picture that we have from the actual day. randy's dad asked to take a picture of us after we got home and that's when i realized that i hadn't taken any the rest of the day. i blame it on pregnancy brain and everyone else there being too sick to help me remember (both of our parents came to town and both of our moms had terrible colds that put them in bed for pretty much everthing other than the baptism itself).
