Ella's Christening

Ella’s christening was a really great day! It was so great to see the family that came out just for her! A HUGE thanks to Ella’s godparents (Heather and Nate). I appreciate it more than you know!

The ceremony went well…highlights included Ava’s clapping after every song that was sang (guess I need to get her to church more often?!), the elderly woman (who was apparently a stroke victim) yelling WEEEEEEE about every 5 minutes, and Phil being missing for the Parent’s prayer at the end of mass (Ava had to go potty). I will never forget the priest looking up and looking totally confused when Phil was nowhere to be found! Ha ha

Anyway – here are some pictures from the day!

After Ava got dressed she wanted mommy to take her picture and then got shy!

But then out came her smile!

Ella looked BEAUTIFUL in her christening gown!

For a comparison, here is Ava in the same gown at her christening:

She’s official now! She didn’t seem to mind the water at all either.

Afterwards we all came back to the house for some lunch. The girlies had fun eating cupcakes!

My grandparents loved playing with Ella:

And Ava had fun bouncing in her bounce house:

It as a lot of fun – and so nice to hang out with everyone. I am exhausted today though!

Have a great afternoon everyone!!!
