This past Sunday (and by "past Sunday" I mean the 12th, not the 19th....so I'm a bit behind...3 kids what can I say?) Pia got her soul nice and cleaned up. And then we partied as Catholics should with lots of cake, cookies, brownies, coffee, and sangria. It's not everyday your kid gets an indelible mark on their soul.

I made
this cake (thanks Pinterest) and by make I mean I sat on the couch and nursed the baby while my sister made the cake and I annoyed the crap out of her in my attempts to micromanage the situation. I also went above and beyond by locating and purchasing the cutest pink, purple, and silver pearlized sprinkles. Best Mom award is a total lock.
I spent most of the party sipping on peach sangria, eating numerous baked goods, and relishing the smell of my freshly baptized babe's chrism-smeared forehead. It don't get no better.
Yay! No more heathens at your house, no ma'am. Still got one here. But only for 5 more days :)
ReplyDeleteI loooove baptisms. And if I love them this much now, when it's just our immediate family attending, I can't imagine how much I'm going to love them when the family gets bigger and older and starts having grandbabies to baptise. Swoon.
ReplyDeletenot fair. you're supposed to look totally zombified and puffy and super postpartummy in baptism pics ...
ReplyDeleteI might have to stop reading for the sake of my self esteem.
