Baptism Ceremony

We had lots of photos, especially of Nevlin Clifton Hartnell, seen here. He slept for part of the day, and was overall really great. He loved the stained glass window and cuddling with everyone in his blanket.

Nev's Godparents are Cam's cousin Michelle and brother Nick. They both flew in for the occasion and were all smiles!

I made a wonderful candle for my Godson, William, but completely forgot about one for Nev. Luckily, my Mam was on hand and she reminded me we needed one. She used the material from his outfit to make a cross and then we put his initials in blue bling on the other side. Funny, but we used some "big red" to make sure it stuck in its holder, which Nick was able to cover with his hands in this photo.

My Mam really wanted Nev to enjoy water, so she has made it a mission to bathe him almost every day. He really loves the water and perked right up when he heard Father pouring the water in the baptismal font. I think that his cousin Amelia, visible in the middle left, was afraid he would be dropped right in.

There were 3 total baptisms in the church on that Sunday, so it looks packed. Nev was by far the youngest & the cutest.

A few more shots from Church & then we will move onto Nev's first party!
