It's official, we've got a little Catholic on our hands!
The festivities began on Friday when we picked Matt and Susie up from the airport. We'd asked them months ago to be Abigail's Godparents and were fortunate to have them with us on Saturday night.
Growing up I took pride in receiving my sacraments, so to stand and present our child to God, our church community, family, and friends was beyond special.
A few weeks before baptism we were debating between full immersion and head sprinkling, and finally Kevin's vote for sprinkling won. I'm sure Abigail appreciated it.
She did so well during mass! Sleeping for a majority of it.... sitting upright :)
But she woke up just in time for her turn at the baptismal font!
After baptising her at the alter we dressed in her Christening gown; the same one I wore 31 (I'm aging myself here!) years ago.
Then celebrated with a party!
Thanks again to everyone who came to be a part of Abigail's special evening; it meant so much to us having each of you there.
