My baptism!



Wow, what a weekend I had!!! I was officially baptized at the Greek Orthodox church this weekend. Lots of my family and friends came to watch and be a part of my special day which I loved. My Noona Trish (Godmother) even flew in from Maryland with her mom Mrs. Mary (my mom's Godmother) and Aristea (my mom's Goddaughter).... It was Mrs. Mary's first time on a plane so I felt pretty special that she came all the way here to see me!!

The baptism was fun and I was all smiles for a bit but I did start to get a little hungry and tired towards the end (it was an hour long you know...!)... they covered me in olive oil and dunked in water 3 times and that kind of put me over the top!! I was a trooper though and made it through no problem but I was ready for a nap!!



After my 3 dunks they dressed up all up in this fancy white dress (bonnet and all!) not quite me usual look but I did look pretty :) At the end all my friends came up to walk around the alter with me...I think that way my favorite part! :)

Great photos. I love the facial expression, kind of "ok, whatever". Except the baptism part - don't think that was the favorite part at all!
Love,
Grandpa.
