Cooper's Baptism

Today was a very special day in the Hillebrand household, Cooper was baptized! The weather was perfect and so was Cooper!

Here are Brandon and Cooper just chillin' before getting dressed, I didn't want to get his outfit on him too soon. You all know what happens when we do that!

And Micayla holding him once I got him all dressed. Doesn't he look like a stud? Sorry Micayla I cut you off.

All ready to head to church.

Mass started at 10:00 and we were up just after it got started. Chris and Kristi are Cooper's Godparents so they had a to do a few responses.





And Cooper getting the holy water poured over his head. He didn't cry one bit. Must be all the baths we take!





Our Baptismal candle.


And Pastor Jay showing him off to everyone in the church.


And of course afterwards what better way to celebrate then food. We had brunch style food and it was all so good. We had Egg Strata, Sausage Bread, French Toast Casserole, Fruit, and Cinnamon Rolls. I threw in some Mimosa's and we were supposed to get a Subway platter from Subway but the lady who took my order on Friday must have taken it home with her or something because not on Subway in Dubuque had an order for Hillebrands. I sent Chris and Kristi out to get it and put them on a wild goose chase. I don't know what happened but we really didn't need it because we had plenty of food. We'll save it for another day.

Grandma and Coopy (as she calls him)

Cooper's Godparents, they are so special to him and he loves them so much! They both had him smiling in church, after Chris fed him and Kristi changing his poopy diaper!






We had to put the little hat on that came with the outfit and get a few pictures. I forgot it before church, can you tell he didn't really like it? LOL

Once he got used to it, it was fine. Here is with Grandma and Grandpa Hendricks.


And Grandma and Grandpa Hillebrand. Thanks to Grandma Linda, she got him this cute outfit to wear for his big day. It was so cute on him, he looked like a little handsome man. 



And this picture just cracks me up, when I uploaded these I was looking at them and started laughing hysterically! Look at Tom's face it looks just like Coopers. Too funny!

I say that because that's what Tom will do when Coopers crying, he'll mock him like he's crying too. All and all it was a great day. After everyone left we relaxed for a bit then heading to The Knabel's for Mary Kate's graduation party...Johnny's BBQ! Yummy!

Tom starts day tomorrow, it's weird I hear him in the room snoring and usually it's so peaceful right now, this will take some getting used to! But I am so happy he's on days and I think he is too. Just say some prayers he likes it!
