The difference you may ask between a "blessing" and a "baptism" is that a blessing is where the minister bless's the baby and also gives thanks for their safe delivery into the world, however it is not required for the parents to profess a faith. Common venues for these are usually at your home or a hall with a light lunch served afterwards....and so it was for my precious new granddaughter Zoey. Family & friends gathered together at the Caledonia Legion on what turned out to be such a gorgeous day that we held the Blessing outside by the River....
Montana is a wonderful big sister and was a big help during the day.....hard to believe she is just 10, they grow up so quickly....
When Emran arrived he ran up to Kevie and gave him a hug...then asked if he remembered him...too funny!
you gotta love this face!!!!
Above is Uncle Don & Great Grandma Mary...Uncle Don officiated the ceremony and Great Grandma's gift to Samantha & Caleb was holding the Blessing for them....
