Two And a Half Waggoners: Birthday, Bunny and Baptism

April 24, 2011 was a VERY, VERY, VERY busy day for us Waggoners! This year Easter fell on my birthday! Sometimes I feel too young (26!) to be married and a mom! I had a wonderful birthday! Mary Grayson gave me a beautiful fleur-di-lis planter for our front walk and Marvin gave me a new watch. It was also Easter Sunday and the Easter bunny did come and visit Miss Mary Grayson! We tried our hand at dying Easter Eggs, but MG wasn't too interested. Last, but certainly not least, to wrap up our busy Easter Sunday, Mary Grayson was baptized at the church I grew up in back in Baton Rouge. It was such a special day for us as we verbalized in front of the Lord and our family our promise to teach Mary Grayson about her Savior until the day she can declare for herself her belief in Him! Following the service, a brunch was held at my parent's house complete with great food and wonderful fellowship with close family and friends. For those that know her well, my mother's spiritual gift is OBVIOUSLY hospitality! She has a God-given talent of opening her home and entertaining with such Southern charm and grace! This occasion was no exception EXCEPT for the fact that right when our guests began to arrive the electricity went out!!! Our house was not the only one affected by the outage! Our whole street was without power. Oh! Did I mention it was sweltering hot? It is Louisiana after all. So after we moved the party out on our deck, a nice breeze helped to cool things off a bit as we played volleyball and croquet in the yard! It was a great party and Mary Grayson did excellent. She even brought her best smiles for her best friends! Here are a few pictures from our special day!
