Ceienna's Christening



Today we Celebrated Ceienna's Christening. It was attended by the most of our family at the family church of Ford this is the same place that Kellyn was Christened not so long ago. Ceienna was wearing the Christening gown which is now well over 80 yrs old and has been used for other members of the family.


It was a lovely sunny day Daddy left the house early as he was doing the food for the party after. I was left to get Kellyn and Ceienna ready. Kellyn looked well in his suit which was brought specially for him. Last of all we dressed Ceienna before getting into the car and heading down to the church.


It was nice to see so many familiar faces in the church all welcoming and excited to meet the new addition to our family. At the church we met up with friends as well so my Brother Daniel, His wife Penny and their 2 Children Max and Zoe and we where also joined by my older Sister Karen and her Husband Ben.


Ceienna behaved wonderfully throughout the service she only cried when she had the water poured over her head cause she was a sleep and it was a sudden wake up call for a little girl.


After the service we headed to the village hall for the party, All the food was prepared by Daddy and the hall was decorated by Daddy and Grandad the night before they had done a perfect job.


Everyone had a wonderful time, all the guests got to hold our special girl, She made us all very proud.


On arrival at the hall Kellyn took it upon himself to serve the guests with a plate of food, Bless him, everyone was very touched. For the party we where also joined by the children's new puppy Muzzy, He was very excited to meet the family to and everyone loved him and he loved the attention.


After we where all refreshed, the Children went to play in the hall, while the adults stayed and chatted and caught up on the latest gossip. Before Daddy stood up and made a short but touching speech to the family and making a toast to our daughter with a glass of Champagne.


We all had a wonderful time and Ceienna had some lovely gifts too.
