Sam's Baptism

On August 11th, Sam was baptized at St. Odilia Catholic Church. It was a special baptismal service presided over by Father James. We were one of three families whose children were being baptized at the ceremony. Sam looked dashing in his white suit that he wore for the occasion.

His Great Aunt Donna and Uncle Jason were selected as his God Parents.

Sam did well throughout the service, but when it was time for him to be held over the Baptismal Font, he became a bit unsure about what was happening. He is a big 3 year old boy after all. We quietly reassured him that he was safe and no tears were shed as the water poured onto his head.

After the service, we snapped photo after photo and Sam happily was passed from one person to the next.

We soon headed home to continue the celebration. Sam opened his many gifts with the assistance of his big sisters.

We finished our celebration with dessert. Ice cream is one of Sam's favorite sweet treats so it only seemed fitting to have an ice cream sundae bar with various ice cream toppings to choose from. 

It was the perfect ending to Sam's special day.
