Bennett's Baptism!

As promised, here are the pics from the baptism!

Some pre-ceremony fun:

My mom made his Christening gown from my wedding dress (as she did for Carter as well) - I think it turned out gorgeous!

Melissa had him cheesing up a storm!

The ceremony:


With the Ninongs (Godparents in Tagolog) - Ace's brother Arian

This is how he spent the first hour of his party!

Trying out the Bumbo for the first time


Chicas!

Walking already! lol

The cake was delish!! The party was hosted by Melissa, Niezle, Suzy, and my mother in law and mom. The theme was "Falling in Love with Bennett" with a play on the word Fall for the decor.


With grandma
Melissa and Kenny. Mel is Carter's Godmother. She is currently 15 weeks pregnant with Bennett's future best friend Elijah!

Big brother playing in the ice bins, lol!


Thanks for looking!!!

I also love the idea of using the wedding dress, how clever is that. Melissa and co did such a great job planning that I want to hire them to plan my parties

A wedding dress goes a long way! We still have enough material left over for one more gown, esp. if its a girl since there is so much lace! ;)

Ace says no more babies though :( I still have a few years to wear him down.... ;)
