Christening Day

Sunday was Sophia's Christening Day and it was wonderful. I was so happy that Sophia was able to wear the same gown that I did when I was baptized. It's been in my my family for nearly 60 years. My mom (the oldest of 7) was the first to wear it and many aunts, uncles & cousins have worn it as well.

Sophia did well and, although we did have a couple of screaming fits early in the service, she absolutely loved when the priest poured holy water over her head. It actually soothed her to sleep! Afterwards we had a small party back at our house which turned out great.
