Hunter's Baptism






Hunter's Baptism was one of our most memorable days this year. It was a beautiful, beautiful solemn service, just the way I have hoped for.
Paolo and I promised ourselves, we will be more conscious with our spiritual life as a family and we hope and pray to be good examples to Hunter.
This is the start of his Christian life. May our little one grow in the knowledge of our Lord.

Paolo offered a prayer to his son. I just wanted to share his short, beautiful prayer.

Dear God,

You have blessed us with the most beautiful gift, a manifestation of your love for us and we thank you for this, for the blessing of our son, Hunter Elias.
We also thank you for the gift of our wonderful relatives and friends that strengthen us as a growing family.
Please Guide us Lord, as parents, as family to always remain devoted to one another and to you.
Lord, surround our child Hunter with goodness everyday. Protect Him and watch over him always.
May he grow up brave in pursuing all his dreams and may he grow in the knowledge of your love.

Amen

We had an intimate gathering at my sister's house with all our close friends and relatives.








I made all the party favors. I included handwritten notes to make them more personal and charming. =)



It was such a lovely day, another reason to be thankful. =)
