Not only was yesterday special because it was Father's Day, but also because it was my Baptism. I knew something was going on in the morning because my mom got out the good china and was setting up the dining room, which we rarely go in. And then, my dad came downstairs in a suit, and that's when I really knew something was up.
We left to go to Holy Cross Church around noon, and when we got there, my dad dressed me up in this beautiful gown that Grandma B had made for me from her wedding dress! What a special gift!
I had no idea what was in store for me during the ceremony, but I was a very good boy throughout everything, even when the priest poured the holy water over my head.
You can't tell from this picture, but instead of crying when the priest poured the water over my head, I just smiled and looked up at him. I kept smiling so much that the priest took a break from the prayer and started talking to me about my smiley face. Everyone, including my dad, got a kick out of it!
After the ceremony, we took a lot of pictures and then headed home to celebrate! Here is a picture of the whole family...
This is one of my favorite pictures becuase it is with my wonderful Godparents, Aunt Heather and Uncle Teddy. As my spiritual leaders, they were trying to impart some words of wisdom. As you can see, I wasn't having it!
Aunt Jackie knew exactly what I needed....my binkie and a kiss!
And last but not least is a picture of me with my mom and dad. Dad looks very happy in this picture because he is thinking about the Chicken Riggies from Rico's that he has to pick up! Yum!
Thanks to everyone for making my Baptism so special, especially Aunt Heather and Uncle Teddy for being my Godparents and also my Grandma B for the beautiful Christening gown.
