gwyneth blesssed

What a blessed little baby to have so many family members and friends present at her baptism! Gwyneth Grace was baptized in a special ceremony following the 11:30 mass at Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church in Broomfield, Colorado. Her family came from all over the country to witness her special day and she didn't shed a tear when they poured the water over her head. She has very special Godparents, Gus Donelson and Sarah Roberts, who are our very dear friends. We know they will provide Gwyneth with a tremendous amount of love, strength, and support through out her life.
Following the ceremony, we had a late lunch feast which was catered by Famous Dave's. We had a house full of people and everyone was in great spirits. Gwyneth enjoyed her day & all of the attention until it was finally time for a nap. She was an angel and just looked so sweet in her little baptism gown. My sisters & I all wore the same gown, as well as Annabelle and my sister's daughters. It is a very special dress and has now been spit-up on by nearly every Paz-girl in two generations (Stacy's daughter is not a spitter but my girls more than made up for it)!
Gwyneth is all sweet - from the inside out. We have been amazed at how much she has changed over the last four months. It is very fitting that we were able to have Gwyneth baptized over Thanksgiving weekend because we are truly blessed and thankful for our beautiful girls.
