Dozens of family and friends gathered at Cathedral to celebrate my Baptism. Father Hugh (a cousin, too!) did a great job as celebrant. I was awake and happy (i.e. quiet) during the service, even with Father Hugh doused me with water and annointed me with oil. My godparents, Andrew F., Alec, Rachel, and Andrew M., all looked so good standing at the alter with Mommy, Daddy, and me. Even my grandparents participated by putting on the special white garmet/bib and lighting the Baptism candle. We had a big party afterward and everyone said how pretty I looked in my gown, which was Mommy's Baptism gown (many, many years ago!).
