On Saturday, May 1st, we had Miss Amaya christened at Sacred Heart of Mary Church in Dundalk. She actually shared the day with her cousin Daniel, who celebrated his first communion the very same day. She did an amazing job during the ceremony, and the priest was amazed at her attentiveness and peacefulness. She stared at him while he was talking and remained quiet and sweet throughout the entire event. No crying, or whining, or anything. Amaya is our little peaceful girl. She's always studying and looking at people with this little angelic quality--much quieter and much more content than Alex ever was! To this day, he's wild and independent. After the christening ceremony at the church, we all headed over to Vinny's cafe also in Dundalk, to celebrate the kids' blessed events. We had an excellent Italian meal there and spent some quality time with our family and friends, as we opened presents and sang several renditions of "Happy Baptism, Happy Communion and Happy Birthday" LOL. It was Maria's birthday on May 3rd, so the last still fit in! We want to thank everyone for attending the Christening, and be looking for your thank you cards in the mail! Enjoy some of our pics of the ceremony and the party below! We can't believe our little princess is already 6 months old and that her Christening is over!
