Baptism

This past Sunday, we celebrated Emily's Baptism.  She was baptized at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Plano, which is the church that I grew up in.  She was such a good girl at the church service!  Since it's during Lent, she couldn't get baptized during a full mass, so there was a seperate service just for the baptisms.  There was only 1 other baby getting baptized, so it was a short service, which helped her not get fussy.  All of our family was there for her big day.  She even wore the same christening gown that I wore when I got baptized.  All of my cousins and nieces have also worn it, so that made it even more special.  We asked my sister-in-law, Julie, to be her godmother and Shawn's cousin, William, to be her godfather.

After the service ,we had everyone come back to our house for dinner.  It was fun having both sides of the family over to celebrate.  However, Emily wasn't as cooperative when we got home.  She was exhausted, but refused to go to sleep.  I'm sure all the noise in the house didn't help and after all, who would want to miss their own party.  Me and Shawn took turns in her room trying to get her down, but in the end I think she ended up sleeping about 20 minutes all afternoon.  We had one tired baby when everyone left.  We catered dinner, which made things soooo much easier, but Shawn and I were still exhausted by the time everyone left.  Having almost 30 people over for dinner is a lot of work!  Especially on a Sunday when you have to go to work the next day!  Thankfully, Emily was just as tired and slept through the night!  Unfortunately, most of the pictures didn't turn out that well.  But here are a few.
