Kenna's Baptism...

Today Kenna got baptized at our church, the Newman Catholic Student Center. We were so happy to be able to have Grandpa, Grandma, Tita Megan, Tito Ricky, Travis, Amy, Morgan, Todd, and Mel in attendance to share in her special day. We've asked Tito Ricky to be her God-father and Megan to be her God-mother. It was a very intimate baptism, and it was as if Kenna knew it was a special day for her and that she was being welcomed into the church. She smiled endlessly throughout most of the ceremony as if to show us she thoroughly enjoyed her special moment.
