Life with the Morris': Macy Claire and Rylee's Christening

This holiday season we had a very special weekend with Macy Claire and both of our families were there to celebrate with us. Our sweet little Macy Claire and her cousin Rylee were Christened at their great grandmother's (Gigi's) church in Poplarville, MS. The service was held at First United Methodist Church and was so beautiful. Scott and I are so blessed to have such a close and wonderful family. His grandmother put in so much time and effort to prepare for the special day. She organized the Christening at the church with the pastor's, had beautiful flowers placed in the girls honor, in the sanctuary, and hosted a brunch for over 20 people after the service. I cannot thank her enough for all of the hard work she put in to making the day such a success. I was so excited to have so many family members and friends travel to share this special day with us. I know Macy Claire will look back at the pictures, cards, and gifts and know that she is loved so very much.

As I was documenting this special day in her baby book I took special care to explain that this Christening is a symbol and promise to God that we will raise her in a Chriatian home and that it will be her decision one day to accept our Lord as her Savior. I am so glad we were able to do this around Christmas as we celebrate our Father's birthday!
