Happy Thanksgiving and Baptism

I don't know where to begin. This past weekend was filled with family, friends, food and fun. Wow. (Insert deep breath here.) Loved every minute but man we need another vacation! :) It was soooo fun to introduce Cole to our St. Louis clan. Thursday we enjoyed a low-key Thanksgiving then Friday was the baptism. Thank you to everyone who was able to make it. It was a short, sweet ceremony and Cole was his calm, happy self throughout. I was guessing he wouldn't mind the water on his head since he loves bath time and sure enough he could care less. Super cute.
Here's a picture of his first plane ride. Luckily he was really good on the way there. It wasn't until the way home when we had to de-board the plane twice and didn't get home until 2am that he was fussy. Can't blame the poor guy. That's another story though.

Ready to head to the church.

It's official!

Proud Godparents.

Love this pic of Cole and Uncle Pete.

In Drew's words, 'Getting Cole out of his dress.' It's neat that both Drew and Pete were baptized in this baptismal gown that their Grandma Unverferth made. Cole's name will be monogrammed on the gown along with the date under Drew's name. As Jeannie pointed out there is plenty of space for many more grand babies under Drew and Pete's names. ;)

Cole meeting his Great Gram Unverferth (the baptismal gown maker). So special to see numerous generations.

We then changed into casual clothes and did the Brophy Ranch hangout thing while we visited with lots of family. Again, so nice to see everyone!
Kylee's first horseback ride.

Everyone helping with the horse. :)

The bonfire was the local hot spot. Pun intended...

Saturday we were able to see a few of our good friends. Brian stopped by as well as Christina and her husband John with their two girls. Natalie and Josie are the cutest things ever.
Natalie at almost 9 months and Cole at 4 months. I sounded like a broken record but I can't believe how cute and dainty Natalie is compared to our big bruiser. :) Clearly Natalie is watching her figure while our little man is out to win a weight competition! So thankful for happy, healthy babies!

Can't take his eyes off her already! Thank you Gigi (Jeannie) for the outfit!

Then there is Miss Josie at 2 1/2 years who is quite the entertainer. Her personality is second to none. We took her down to see Scarlett the horse which she loved.

Cole and Brian. I can't put into words how insane it is to introduce my son to someone I have been good friends with since 4th grade. Seriously where does the time go?!

So blessed.
