Nicholas' Christening - September 4, 2011

We had the whole family in town for Nicholas' baptism. His Godparents are Aunt Christina and "Uncle" Fred (our close friend and next door neighbor, and one of Nicholas' biggest fans!). It was a tight squeeze in our townhouse, but Nicholas loved all the attention. And he got to meet Pa, Uncle Mike and his girlfriend Abby for the first time.

Here are some shots of Nicholas getting ready for his big day! He wore the same christening outfit that Daddy wore when he was baptized.  It fit great and of course Grandma Busso had kept it in pristine condition! It's hard to tell, but the outfit is comprised of a onesie, vest, and long robe - plus he had little silk booties!








Here are some shots from the church - the mass and ceremony was at St. Louis Catholic Church in Alexandria, VA.

















Here's Nicholas with Mommy, Daddy and all the grandparents!

And here are some photos from the party that followed. Nicholas tried his first, very tiny, bite of frosting - can't say he really liked it all that much, but that is sure to change - all in good time!



Nicholas' first taste of frosting - looks like his sweet tooth hasn't come in yet!
 

Finally, here are some miscellaneous shots from the weekend - I think Nicholas spent the entire weekend in someone's arms - he loved it!

Look at him, sitting up like a big boy!
