Baptism

SUNDAY

What a wonderful day for a baptism... okay I was a lil excited about the whole thing finally happening. The air was cool and crisp, I love that feeling. We made it to the church with plenty of time, we were actually the first families there. We laid the girls dresses out in the chapel, so they'd be set after the baptismal water was poured on them. There were a total of 7 kids during the 930 service. The 730 service had two sets of twins, 930 had our twins, and the noon had a set of twins also... wow, there's lots of babies...

We lined up in the back of the church to make our grand entrance, Peyton, Sydney, Mom, Dad, Bianca and Nino Rudy and Nina Andria.... then came the other families... Peyton went first at the baptismal fountain, I held her over, placing her feet and legs in the warm water, she enjoyed it, Deacon Fong poured the water over her head, to her it was the best type of shower... She wore a swimmie. It was sisters turn next, Daddy held her over the fountain, she enjoyed the warm water too. After the water we placed them in towels and took them into the chapel to change them into their beautiful dresses... We had four people to dress the girls and about 7 minutes to get it all done... We managed. YEAH for us. We finished the ceremony, holding the girls up so everyone could see them.... I think they liked that... During the end of Mass Sydney got GRUMPY... she was yelling and very upset.... She wouldn't fall asleep either... Peyton on the other hand was napping... We took some pictures after the Mass then headed to the reception.

We had fun, it's always good to get together with family and friends and eat yummie food. Any excuse is good for me. We are a partying family for the most part, most of the time it's birthday parties... but sometimes there are just BBQ's... ~lol~ The girls enjoyed visiting with everyone and nursing lots.... Sydney didn't sleep at all during the party, but Peyton got a good nap in while being held. When we got home Sydney was out for a good three hours, and she woke up in a happy mood. She was throwing smiles all around.
