Baptism!

So Saturday morning, we woke up bright and early to get ready for the baptism. Kept Santi in his pj's until the last possible moment. I did my hair, Tito headed to the store to get the cake and balloons we were using as a marker at the door of the reception. My brother showed up early so he actually went with him. Then, after everything else was over at the reception hall, we headed to the church.



Santi with his godparents - Dani and Agi



Yes, the hat looks like a cook's hat - it was just a little too small and just fit around his head. It was supposed to be a bit larger and sit on his head like those knit caps girls wear now...very cute in the photos, but his didn't turn out that way.



With my parents - this is before he started to melt down because he was SO hungry!



Being hungry and teething are no fun! And this begins the photos where we had 4 people taking photos, but none of them telling us when they were taking them, so we ended up with half the group looking at one camera and half the group looking at the other!



Haha, is it bad that this is my favorite photo? :)







Santi getting baptized - he slept through the WHOLE ceremony, and only wiggled a little bit when the water was poured on his head!



Brownie pops at the reception


Candy bar favors





Some of our friends enjoying the food



Santi with his cousin Mique - a.k.a. the Latino Justin Bieber!







Kind of not a great photo of us, but the only one we have!



My parents



Tito's parents and the godparents



Opening some gifts back at the house - my parents got him a pewter beer stein with his initials on it, which is sort of a traditional gift in our family - my parents actually brought mine out for me! They also got him a little pewter duck bank, so cute!



Agi helping Santi with a gift from our friend Natalia - a push and go toy. He won't use it for awhile but he loved sitting on it!



Inevitably, the Latin dancing started - although everyone but family had left!





Love the look on his face - "Put me down mom!"
