What a wonderful day! Mummy said the morning of preparation was a lot less stressful than she had expected because we had so much help from Nan and Pops, Nana and Grandpa, Maddy and Alex who were all on catering and Eva-sitting duties at various points in the day! The day was also made possible by Justine and Rich and Isobel lending us their house for the weekend so were able to prepare the food in the morning - phew!
Here I am with Mummy and Daddy and all my Godparents: Evan, Annie and Maddy.
Nana and Mummy think this photo looks like I'm praising God. Very appropriate.
I really enjoyed the ceremony and the vicar didn't seem to mind me blowing raspberries at her throughout the service, or joining in when she was talking, or even trying to eat the order of service. She was a very patient vicar. She also didn't seem to mind when I tried to get into the font - Mummy thinks she was just relieved I didn't cry or flinch when she put the water on my head! I just wanted to go swimming!
This was the first time we managed to get a photo with the whole family in! Mummy and Daddy were so pleased!
For the ceremony I wore a very old family Christening robe which Mummy, Uncle Matt, Uncle Dan and Grandpa were all christened in - but we think it originally belonged to my Great, Great Grandpa! Mummy was very relieved that I didn't rip it or spill anything on it! It took several people to help getting me into it and in fact I was a bit too big for it - we had to leave the bottom button undone!
Here you can see me enjoying sitting in Isobel's vey grand antique high chair here carb-loading ready for my big afternoon ahead.
