WE BAPTIZED EMILY ELIZABETH ON SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 12.
My cousin Melissa and my Godson Michael are her Godparents. Melissa came from Massachusettes with my aunt Barbara and one of her sisters, Kerry. Uncle Jack and Laura stayed home...
The Baptism was nice; it was done during the regualr Mass at St. Stephen's, and there was another little baby being Baptized at the same time. Emily was a little fussy during the beginning of the Mass, but calmed down after a while, and was amazingly calm during the actual "process" of cleansing her from sin with Holy water. John and I both thought for sure that she would scream when Father Jim poured the water over her head, but she did not!
After the Mass, we went to the Country Club for brunch. It was really nice...Jackie and Lauren were there, as were our dear friends, the Nally's. John was really glad that Tony, Marge and Ashley were able to make the trip from East Aurora to spend a couple of hours with our family. Nicholas and Alyssa were thrilled, too, because they each got a special gift out of it!
Despite the fact that I was feeling a little under the weather and had abslutely NO voice whatsoever, the day was great! We really enjoyed spending time with friends and family!
I'm going to post a separate posting with just some pictures of the Baptism right after this one. Then, Thanksgiving is later this week, so I'll try to add a posting with pictures and stories about our Feast! Dinner is at Lori's new house, and we have to bring the Stove Top!!
