We Had Nicholas' baptism this past weekend at St Mary of the Hills in Boylston. Nicholas did such a great job! He only cried a little when they dunked him in the holy water. Don't worry - they only dunked him waste high :) Surprisingly, the entire ceremony was done around the holy water bath and we only went up to the alter for a 'photo - op'. Actually, other than saying the Our Father, you would really never know it was a catholic ceremony. If I can ever figure out how to add video to this site I will upload the ceremony. We had a little get together afterwards back at house to relax and eat. Thanks to all that attended!!
Here we are before the ceremony started. The church asked us to bring him in a sleeper so he could be quickly undressed for the dunking.
Here's a close up of the little guy - I wish the picture came out a little clearer since it's such a great close up!!
Here we are with the godmother Aimee and godfather Jim ..... and poor Nicholas sitting nakey waiting to be dunked.
The proud godparents with Nicholas at the alter.

Dan trying to pull a little Lion King move .... if anyone watches Modern Family you'll remember the gay guys doing this with their new adopted daughter. Hilarious!!
