The Boys' Baptism



The boys were baptized on January 31st. John's Godparents are Nathan and Mary and Gavin's Godparents are Beau and Mo. We asked for the baptism to be done on a Saturday in the middle of the day so everyone had plenty of time to travel. We also asked for the big baptismal font, that is normally not used, to be used since the normal one used is for infants and it would have been difficult to lift the boys. They were so excited that they would get to go "swimming." Everyone in our immediate family was able to attend except Katie and Addy. It was a great day and then we went to mass Saturday night and our priest announced the boys were baptized and everyone clapped. They were both very excited for that.

It is impressive no one fell in! (from left to right Anna, Ainsley, JJ, Derek, Lola)

Izzy is pretty comfortable. (JJ and Derek are watching too!)

John is holding his breath!

Gavin was hoping to splash!

After they were baptized we changed them into their white clothes. They loved their candles.
