Baptism

On Sunday May 25th we celebrated Ethan's baptism at Saint Ambrose of Woodbury.There were four other couples having their little ones baptised too!
Ethan did a wonderful job; he behaved throughout the entire ceremony. Father Tom was amazed at how handsome Ethan was in his little suit! A group picture with Father Tom, Molly (god-parent), Nick (god-parent).Ethan hanging out with Uncle Nick.

Group shot of everyone that came to the baptism.Ethan was definitely the main event. He got his picture taken at least a hundred times!!After the ceremony everyone headed over to Joe & Cindy's for the party! Ryan's parents were ever so wonderful as to have a barbecue for Ethan's special day.Here he is hanging out like a big kid.He had a pretty serious chat with papa at the campfire.Group shot at the campfire. (And no, I don't drink two martinis at once...one belonged to Molly!)Ethan loving up his Grandma.Enjoying s'mores.Later in the night papa was keeping the little ones entertained.

On a side note...we didn't find out what time Ethan was being baptised until the Thursday before his baptism (which was on Memorial Day weekend). So if you weren't invited it was because of my poor planning skills...I'm sorry! We definitely don't want anyone to feel left out.

Saturday Night LIVE

Saturday May 24th our parents were invited over for a salmon dinner at our house.

My dad and sister. Molly was in town for Ethan's baptism. She lives in Texas now, and is going to school in Nebraska.

Logan, Dad, and mom relaxing after the meal.

It was quite the event. I don't think I've ever cooked for more than four people at once. Thankfully everything turned out okay.

After dinner we headed to my parents hotel in Hastings and went for a swim. This was Ethan's third time swimming...finally pictures of him in his cute swim trunks!
