Tonight Brian, Max and I went over to Aunt Carm's house to bake cookies - Max just wanted to watch. During the cookie making the talk turned to Max's baptism, which is set for July 6th (one day after our 5th anniversary and at the same church). Grandma Carlotta was also here for the cookie making and between the two of them they convinced me to have Max try on the family christening gown, since he will be too big for it come July.
Here is a picture of Max in this very special gown. It was made by a friend of my Grandmother's when she was pregnant with my Uncle Butch, 59 years ago. This gown has been worn by every member of my family since. The last to wear it was Anna (who will be Max's Godmother), 17 years ago. I am sad that Max will not be able to wear this special gown on his day, but it was fun to see him in it for just a few minutes. He tolerated the ordeal very well, that is until Grandma tried to tie the bonnet. Apparently Max has a big head - I will attribute it to a big brain!

Let's hope they crank the air up in the church. I remember kneeling & sweating a lot 5 years ago. :)
