It was her weekend.

Turning 8 has a lot of perks.
Lex was kinda like a super star that weekend.

In her words...

Presents
2 grandmas
1 grandpa
4 Aunts
3 Unlces
6 cousins
a trillion friends
Barno backyard BBQ
acorn fight
hotel swimming
2 birthday cakes and
1 really awesome baptism

It was pretty awesome.


She was in heaven...see...


I hang my head in shame that I didn't take a single picture of Lex in her dress.
My Grandma Shirley is probably hanging her head just like me.


Seriously, I didn't take NEARLY enough pictures of everything that went down but it was pretty unforgettable. All the people that came to see our girl, near and very far, makes me utterly speechless. Thank you all for helping Lex have an extremely awesome experience.

The "planning part" didn't bring the best out of me.

Psssssst....
I'm glad it's over.
I gave the camera to my Blubber-in-law, Doug, to take pictures. He got some really great shots of the baptism to help us remember every little detail...see...

Oh, and I get really emotional about these two.
Oh and not pictured...some shots that are a little...off color, if you will.

Thanks, Doug.
Thanks a lot.

Doug is a really skilled photographer. He really sees beauty in the little things.

Congrats to Lex! I'm so glad we could be there.

I know what you mean about the dress. I only have pictures of Jewely before the dunk...in her dunkin' clothes. *sigh*
I know it was a great and spiritual time for Lexi. Congrats!
