Tristan's Baptism

What a special day and what a special boy. I will be adding pictures of the actual baptism soon, but I am just too tired tonight so here are the photos from the brunch that followed the church service. Tristan's family and friends gathered to celebrate the baptism and what fun it was. Tristan was amazing through the entire day!!! During the Baptism itself (yes I know the pictures aren't there yet!!) he never made a peep just quietly observed. Then he happily was passed around from person to person to get his photo taken. He did not cry or fuss, just finally fell asleep and allowed the process of photo's to continue. Tori was also very good. She sat quietly through church and then spent most of the party in the sandbox. She was not as cooperative with picture time as her baby brother, but allowed several photos to happen before I had to bribe her with cake :)

Tristan and Tori's Godparents Danielle and Matt (Matt was in town from Indiana this weekend) were both able to be at Tristan's baptism! His Uncle Ryan and Aunt Tina were in town from Virginia so they were also able to be part of this special day. Of course, Auntie Meli, Grandma Frances and Grandma Val, and Great Grandparents were also present. Tristan's girlfriend baby Layla born just two weeks earlier was also happy to join the party. In one picture of the two of them you will see Layla is very much awake while Tristan sleeps soundly through it all (we told her to get used to it!!!) I want to thank Grandma Val, Grandma Frances, Great Grandma Mimi, and Auntie Mel for their help with food, set up, take down, and much much more-- the baptism would not have been such a success had it not been for their support. Also a very special thank you to James Warren who took all these beautiful photos and captured Tristan's day so wonderfully. Thanks to all our friends and family who were able to share in this day and fill it with love and joy!!!!!!!!!!!!
