whitney's baptism weekend extravaganza

One year and one week later, we gathered our family and headed back to Sacred Heart Church and the Heidel House Resort in Green Lake, Wisconsin. However, instead of it being for our wedding, this time it was for Whitney's baptism. It was an incredible weekend and Whitney celebrated like a champ! I mean what baptism is complete without a boat cruise, brunch, golf, swimming, multi-generational gown, and a cake larger than the guest of honor!

Whitney was the 18th person to wear the Kelly family baptismal gown. This beautiful gown was made with love by Whitney's great-great grandmother (on Mary's side) and great-great aunt over 95 years ago!

Whitney's cake was made by the same person that did our wedding cakes last year and was an absolute work of art.
