Hailey's Christening Day

Hailey was baptized just days before beore Christmas in Washington, DC. The church was beautifully decorated for the season and it was extra special as her brother was baptized right next door in the Chapel which shares the spot where Nathan and I were married too.

Beautiful day in Georgetown.

It was fun to watch Harrison roam the sidewalks around the Chapel where we were married & he was baptized.

Gown details. Hailey's gown was a special find, by Aunt Valerie. Valerie offered to hunt for the perfect petite Christening dress for Hailey. As an International flight attendent the hunt was all done overseas! The "one" was found in a small shop in Ireland and we feel lucky to have this special gown in the family.

Hailey truly looks like a precious little angel in her dress, just as I had imagined when I saw and knew it was the 'one'. A. Valerie
