Jolie was baptized this weekend and what an awesome weekend we had! Nearly 30 people traveled all the way to Des Moines just for Jolie--how cool! In attendance were Grandma and Grandpa Buechler, Uncle Matt, Great Grandma and Grandpa Buechler, Grandma and Grandpa Dibbern, Uncle Brett, Uncle Michael, Ryan, Karen, Jordan and Hannah Rathke, Great Nana, Great Aunt Cyndi and Great Cousin Colby, Great Uncle Doug and Aunt Kellie and Great Cousins Sam, Hayden and Hannah, Great Uncle Brad and Aunt Kim and Great Cousin Sydney--whew I think I got everyone. Hayden and Hannah came up with Great Cousins since they are my first cousins. :) Too cute!
We had a big birthday party (since Josh, Cyndi, Jordan, me, Grandma Dibbern and Hannah all had birthdays recently) and had pizza, cake and ice cream the night before at the hotel. Jolie was spoiled AGAIN with some very cool keepsakes, adorable clothes, lots of great books, her first bracelet, first ring and first pair of jeans! It was ridiculous--you realize our house is pretty small right?!?! :)
The baptism service was great and I think everyone liked it (We think we have an awesome Pastor) Jolie did great through the whole thing and Pastor Timm even tried to keep her! :)
Thank you again to all those who traveled to see Jolie. It was so great to have everyone here and we loved seeing you all!
I didn't get any great pictures of Jolie in her baptism dress so I think we will take it along to her three month pictures and get some professional shots in it because it is super cute!
