Reagan was baptized this past Sunday. She was baptized in my Mom's baptismal gown that my Grandma Vollrath had made for her when she was baptized. We had a nice crowd over to our house following the baptism for smoked pulled pork and beef. We all sat outside under our shade trees and we had a nice breeze, so it didn’t feel to terribly hot! Mason enjoyed playing with all his cousins, but got really hot. Luckily, when Mom and Dad left to go home, they took Mason with them so he could cool off. Mom said he ended up taking an hour and a half nap after having a nice cool bath!
We were extremely touched to receive a porcelain angel from Juanita’s collection, a gift from Glen and Elke, for Reagan. It is an honor to have this gift given to her in honor of Juanita. I told Kevin I need to clean out my curio cabinet to make more room for Reagan and Mason’s keepsakes! Or, a brand new one would be nice too! We still have all her other gifts to open, but we have been too tired the last couple of nights to do so. We plan on opening them tonight if everything goes well.
Kevin and I are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. It was so nice to have everyone gathered at our place Sunday. Even though our house is small, we have enough room outside, thank goodness! We enjoy entertaining and plan on doing a lot more this summer and fall.
Kevin’s smoked pork and beef were EXCELLENT! We got a lot of comments on it, all good! Even though, I only made the tea and lemonade, I would have to say it was good too! J Thank you to all of our family and friends that brought side dishes too!
