Baptism Photos - Part 3: Ceremony

No one shed a tear during the actual ceremony, which amazed me somewhat. I actually went in with no expectations in this regard, but was so pleasantly surprised!

The babies' outfits turned out really well, too. In case it's not too clear in the photos, the boys were in rompers with mock vests and bow ties, and Evelyn was in a dress with colours that matched. I chose the fabrics and had the outfits custom made by a lady in Wisconsin... we should have taken a few more close-ups of the babies to highlight how dapper they looked, but as you can imagine, getting out the door that Sunday was no small feat! This was complicated by the babies' feed schedule - they all had to eat minutes before the service began. Thanks to our dedicated "cast of thousands", everything went off without a hitch. Afterwards, we had enjoyed a delicious brunch courtesy of Edward's parents, and consumed the better part of three amazing mousse cakes (each baby had their own) made by Edward's cousin Sally. A truly wonderful day!

Thanks to everyone who took part, and a special thank you to Gil, her husband and Petite who were able to join our celebration!
