This past Saturday was Lily's Baptism and it could not have been more perfect. Friday we were hit with a HUGE snowstorm, so I was little worried about people coming in from out of town on Saturday, but it all worked out. My sister Meghan and Ryan's brother Jesse are Lily's Godparents. Aside from a few mishaps with the Our Father, they did a great job! Father John was nice as could be. He was very impressed with Lily and said she could come back and be baptised any time. She was a perfect angel during the ceremony. Lily was wide awake and watched every move the Father made. It didn't even phase her when we poured the water over head. I was very proud to have Lily wear the baptismal gown that my dad, his brothers, my brother, and all of my cousins wore. To have a family heirloom be a part of this ceremony is very special. The gown was gorgeous and now it's my turn to keep it in tip top shape for the next child in the family to be baptised. Who knows, we might be next again! :)
After the ceremony we went to a restaurant that Ryan and I have eaten at many times with his family, Casa de Giovanni's. The food was excellent and the company was even better. Lily slept through almost the whole party. She woke up in time to cut the cake though! She's definitely my daughter if she's waking up for dessert!! It was so nice to share this special day with all of our family. Thank you so much to everyone who was able to make it and we missed those of you who weren't able to make the trip.
