Ava's Baptism

The baptism tunred out beautifully. Ava's Nana and Papa came in town from Davenport and lots of friends and family were there to celebrate. The baptismal gown Ava wore is over 100 years old and has been worn by 18 people in the Wilberg family starting with my dad's Grandmother Elinor and her brother Art Kramer in 1901.
Here is a group shot of the whole family after church...
Here we are trying to get Ava into the gown at church before the service. We changed her at the church for fear that she would spit up in it or it get spilled on if she had it on before then.
Here is Ava and both of the sets of grandparents...Ava's Godparents, my uncle Gary and aunt Jennifer along with us and Pastor Tom who baptized Ava...
Here is a picture of me on my baptism day, in the same gown Ava wore, with my parents and Emily and Eric...
