Way Back When-ednesday

After looking at the kids' christening photos I found my album and found a picture of my Christening with my grandmother and a couple of great aunts, one of them being my grandmother's twin sister.  I thought it would be fun to post a picture of my christening with one of the sets of twins in my family and then to post a picture of my kids' Christening.

My Nana, Auntie Nora, my great-grandmother holding me, and my Auntie Edie (my grandmother's twin sister) 1973

All 3 kids, Godparents, Me and Tom, and the priest (Tom's cousin John) 2009

It's kind of nice having both pictures in 1 spot.  I may have to print out my Christening picture for the kids' scrapbook, whenever I get around to doing one :)!

Christening

All 3 babies were Christened today.  We were lucky and only had our babies Christened today instead of a large group of babies that we didn't know.  We were also lucky since Tom's cousin celebrated the Baptism for us.  He had a great sermon about what to teach your children.  The main focus was to teach them love and respect: love between parents, love for the children, and respect for children.  Thankfully all the Christening Outfits fit all 3 kids.  It was really nice to have people make comments about the outfits since these are really the 1st clothing items that I have made.  I was even able to knit Eva Rose's sweater.  I was afraid that people wouldn't like them since they were simple cotton outfits, but once I saw all three of them in their outfits and how cute they looked, I new that I made the right decision.  I really liked the simple cotton outfits.  I was a great day and I have some great memories of the day that all three of our kids were Baptized.
