Danica Liv was Baptized at St. Thomas on October 5, 2014. The church ceremony was amazing. The Baptism was done during the 11:30 mass and it was so intimate and wonderful. Deacon Dunne led the mass in which we first walked down with the Priests and were brought up in front of the congregation with Danica's God Parents, Uncle John and Auntie Amy, and made our baptism declaration. It was at this point it felt as though the Mass was completely about Danica and our family. During the mass we were brought over to the fountain and she was Baptized. Deacon Dunne then welcomed her into the Catholic faith and everyone in the Church applauded- it was so very special. She was so happy to have the holy water put over her head that she cooed in her beautiful white lace dress and headband. Auntie Amy gave her a beautiful Swarovski crystal bracelet for her special day that she wore proudly. Danica could not have been a better baby throughout the ceremony, it was as if she knows how truly special she is. Danica means "morning star" and that is truly what she is...Charli was very proud and excited for Danica's party and wore her party dress and shoes; she had been waiting so long to wear both and I think that will be the only day any of those outfits will fit my girls!
When we first walked down the aisle of the church to our front row pew- a rainbow appeared on Dan's shoulder and I knew my Dad was definitely with us. The weather was so beautiful that it was definitely a day filled with love, faith, and hope. We followed the ceremony with a celebration of Danica. She received so many wonderful and thoughtful gifts and were are so blessed with the family and friends who were there with us to celebrate.
