Gabriella is baptized

The culmination of our family reunion was the baptism of our granddaughter, Gabriella in Las Vegas.  Michelle and Brian's family left on Friday afternoon to head to Vegas to get everything read for the big day on Saturday.  The rest of us got up on Saturday, made some food, and headed down there.  It was a perfect day!


All of Gabbi's cousins sang "Baptism" during the service.  I played the piano for them.

This little girl is a great joy in our life!  How we love her!

She is so loving and thoughtful and caring.


We are so proud of her!





Gabbi and Michelle went to Sam's Club before the reunion to order her cake.  Gabbi designed her beautiful cake.

Brian took her baptism pictures.  They were beautiful and they displayed them on the tables.

The lunch was delicious



Then there was a birthday party for Gabbi as her baptism was right on her eighth birthday.





She got lots of fun gifts.

How we love this precious eight-year-old.  Happy birthday, Gabriella!!!

I love this post! What a darling girl Brielle is and what wonderful parents she has! That all speaks well of you and Ken, Kay, as the parents/grandparents!

I showed this post to Gabby and I think it made her feel really special that she was the star.
