Georgia’s Christening was this past Sunday at Holy Trinity Church. It was the most beautiful ceremony, and Deacon Joe gave the most beautiful blessing for her. She was surrounded by so much love. We all got to sit together in mass before her baptism, and then my parents, Greg’s family, and my brother and sister, Kevin and Olivia, her godparents, all made our way to the Baptismal font. She is so lucky to have them as her spiritual guides, and I loved how the Deacon swirled the water as he blessed it for her. He also asked the saints to pray for her and especially Saint Georgia, which I thought was super sweet.
Also, Georgia got to wear the Christening gown that me and my sister wore, and my mom wore, and all of my aunts wore. My Bebe (grandma) sewed the gown and bonnet, and embroidered it so delicately. It is trimmed with the most beautiful lace, and I was so excited that Georgia got to wear such a special family heirloom. My mom had gotten the gown ready for Georgia’s special day, and she pressed it so beautifully. She also got Georgia dressed for her special day!
After the ceremony, everyone came over to our house for lunch and dessert. We had beef sandwiches, baked mostaccioli, and pasta salad. We also had yummy cake, sugar cookie, and my mom’s Oreo cake! We played with Georgia all day long, and my dad played the cutest/funniest country song, and my mom and sister clapped along, and Georgia absolutely loved it! It was just the best day that we will remember forever.
