Bekah's Baptism: The After Party

After the baptism, I invited everyone back to my house for some food. (My house was not made to hold that many people but it was still way fun.) I think there were 25 people at the baptism and maybe about that many (added a few, lost a few) at the party that followed.

So here's a taste of the party!

Earlier this year, I ordered a banner from Shindigz. I got a super deal on it. I paid ONE PENNY for the banner and then had to pay shipping. So I think it was $6.96 for the whole thing. And it was a nice quality vinyl banner! I used the bridge from the song that played at the baptism - Brent Vernon's Fully Yours song. This hung in the dining room by the food.
Angi Spangler's fabulous cupcakes. Do you love the color theme? Browns and blues? (Water and sand...)

Cheeseball and crackers, toffee crackers, candy shop pizza, and cupcakes. And my aunt surprised me with my favorite caramel surrpise brownies. YUMMY. (Stones scattered about for decoration. Love me a theme!!)

BBQ chicken sandwiches, BBQ weenies, and chicken puffs. :) YUM.

Liam was pretty into his cupcake. My favorite one-liner from him was this. "Hey Aunt Bekah! Your living room is different. You reorganized it!"

The lovely Savannah - fresh off a week of camp. Tired, tired, tired, but I was so glad she came!

Julie and Levi. He was kinda serious. :)

Some of the inside crew in my reorganized living room. :)

I have more pictures from this but they all seem to contain the blog anonymous folks, so I won't post them. I think I had about 30 people at my house for the party, which is about 25 more than it comfortably holds! LOL!!

But we had a great time and people started making connections with each other...new friendships were formed...and I loved that.

I couldn't have asked for a more perfect evening. God was very good - and He still is!

And now, as promised, the song that I think best rounds out my post-baptism feelings. The sound quality is a little iffy in this particular rendition of it, but David does a nice little run in this one that he didn't in the studio, so it's my favorite. (Oh come on. Like you thought you were going to get out of this without a David song.)
