Tatum's Baptism










Today, Tatum had her Christening. We got up around 7:30 after some snuggling in bed for awhile. Colin a bit to fully wake up. Tatum likes to snuggle under the covers and goes back and forth between us until she feels ready to get up. The kids had pancakes and took a bath.
It's a good thing that we got the kids new outfits to wear as it was very chilly here today. It only hit 50 for a high.
We left for Holy Family at 10:45 this morning. We missed the exit because we were chatting and ended up taking the long way around. Both kids fell asleep, but woke up without a meltdown (phew!!)We sat in the front row because Colin wanted to see everything. He was very curious about this church as it is not our parish, but rather the one that we were married in. Both kids were great during Mass. Colin stood up when we did and sat when we did. He even tried to answer the priest! Too funny! Tatum walked back and forth along the pew between everyone. The Cheerios also helped with the good moods!
After Mass, we changed Tatum into her dress. When we were in China, we had her dress made for her. We thought that it would be a nice way to honor her heritage. Tatum was great through the Baptism and especially when the priest poured the water over her head. Near the end, she had had enough and did try to crawl away though!
Back at the house, we had calzones and meatballs with the family. It was so nice to see everyone!
