The day after Melissa’s Bridal Shower, we headed two hours across the state from the Detroit area to Grand Rapids to celebrate Audrey’s Christening day. It was a special day for our family to see her baptized into the Catholic church. Audrey wore the Christening gown made from my Mother in laws wedding dress; the christening gown her mother, auntie and all that generation of cousins wore. Megan chose to make the day small with immediate family only and I think that made it even more special.
After mass and the christening ceremony, we headed to Megan and Adam’s home for a delicious lunch, including a beautiful carrot cake. It was a calm and relaxing day after the hectic week before and of course our little Audrey was the star. I know I am biased, but she really is the most happy, content baby and will play, talk and smile all the time. She also was happily passed around and held by both sets of grandparents, her great grandmother and godparents - her auntie and uncles.
My husband flew back to Florida, but I stayed for a few days for more Audrey time (and Megan too). It was just what I needed and there were many cuddles, quiet playtime, plus a trip to the zoo. What Nanna dreams are made of.
Happy Saturday!
