Emily's Christening

With my folks in town, we were able to plan Emily's Christening so that they could be there. They wished they could have been there for Quinn's, and I think they were happy to be able to experience the service, even if they couldn't understand what was being said.
I guess I'm looking like I've done this before, but I was stressing a bit...making sure I didn't forget something and hoping that Emily (or Quinn) wouldn't scream during the whole service.

Our church as a great christening room. A stained glass star is on the roof of the room, so the kiddoes have something to look at. The priest warmed up the water...and Emily, suprisingly, didn't make a peep.

Our friend Tanja, also Emily's Godmother, made the candle...that Quinn kept trying to blow out.

We had coffee, cake and then later dinner at our place with a small group of family and friends. While Emily's Christening was a bit smaller than Quinn's, it was a bit more intimate, and we had a great time.

Quinn was stoked to have more folks to play Legos with and Emily was happy that water wasn't being poured on her head anymore.
