Mattea's baptism highlights

Miss Mattea had her baptism this weekend. She got to meet some very important people too.

Grandma and Grandpa Berge saying hello to their 10th grandchild.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Russum also made the LONG trek to our house. They live 9 hours away from us. What a treat to have them join us for the weekend! "Great" as we call her, LOVES babies and spent a lot of time hovering over Mattea. :)

It was so unique and special to have Daddy baptize baby Mattea.


Mattea wore the dress that Grandma Seibel wore for her baptism. The bonnet was made from a hanky that belonged to a relative of Grandma Berge.

No lady's attire would be complete without a little finery. Mattea is showing off her beautiful bracelet made by Grandma Berge and a cross necklace from Grandma and Grandpa Seibel.


After Mattea was baptized the kids sang Jesus Loves Me for special music.
