Celebrations galore

We opted to celebrate Nicholas' first birthday and baptism at the same time in order to allow those who had traveled so far to attend both events.  While we had the small family party on Friday night, the official event occurred after today's baptism at St. Joan of Arc Church.

The baptism itself was uneventful.  The boy was a bit thrown by the full body immersion, but took it well, and promptly fell asleep once he was fully clothed.  He then stayed asleep until the end of the ceremony.  He woke up for a few photo ops, and then we headed home for the party.
