Lucia's Christening Weekend Pt.3

Today was a big day for Miss Lucia. It was the day of her Christening. She had lots of friends and family that had come in to help her celebrate. Our morning started out early because there was lots to do, get Mateo dressed, get Lucia dressed, get Mami and Papi dressed, pick up the cake, pick up Navita and get to the church on time. It was a successful, but very tiring day.

Lucia was bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and ready to be Christened

Anissa (aka Madrina) helped Lucia get ready in the morning

Mateo also decided he could stand still and pose with Lucia on her big day

Lucia looking a little nervous in her car seat reminded me of someone else who felt a little uneasy on his big day

Here is Mateo, 3 years earlier, on the day of his Christening

Here is the reverend introducing Lucia to the congregation

Godparents Anissa and Yves are very proud

Here is the yummy cake we had to pick up for the festivities

Mami, Papi and big brother Mateo are all happy to celebrate Lucia's Christening

Lucia decided to make her rounds and thank everyone -"Thank you for coming Padrino"

Mommy and Lucia thank Madrina for coming

Lucia thanks god brother (also Mommy's godson) Kristian for coming

"Thank you Sonia, Freddie and Grandma for coming, I hope you are enjoying the view of the city in the background"

"Hey Papa Fofo - thank you for making the trip up!"

"Tia Kimm, thanks for coming and hopefully we will see you this summer in Ohio"

"Aba and Abu thank you for making it out"

"Tia Raqui Caqui and Tio Jon, thank you for driving up from Maryland"

"Tia Mima, thanks for making the drive and for helping with my poses"

Lucia needed to rest and recharge after all of that socializing

"My dogs are barking!"

"Finally, I can get out of that frilly dress and hat...thanks Grandma"

Looks like Lucia wasn't the only one who was exhausted...Papa Fofo needed a recharge

And so did Abu

Farewell Padrino, thanks for coming

After a long day, Lucia finally knocks out in Madrina's arms
