Yesterday we celebrated Owen's Baptism at St. Paul's Church in Kenmore, NY. Our families from the 'Heads made the journey to Buffalo to be part of the celebration.
The Baptism gown Owen is wearing has been in the Sullivan Family for over 200 years and has been worn by every member of the family during their Baptism. We are unsure if the gown came over to America from Ireland, but do know that Grandpa Sullivan's father had worn it when he was Baptized.
Owen is being Baptized by Deacon Parker.
God-Parents, Sam and Jenn with Deacon Parker.
After a wonderful Baptism service, everyone joined us at our house for a lot of good food and company. Mama Hall was generous enough to come up a couple of days early to help prepare the feast and babysit for a night. Thanks again for all the help Mama Hall, we could not have done it without you.
Enough food to feed an army...Mmmmmmm, leftovers!
Delicious cake.
The girls enjoyed a dip in the pool.
Glad the rain held off in order to be outdoors.
Owen was very happy to have everyone celebrate his Baptism.
Thank you everyone that came to Owen's Baptism. We really appreciate those that made the trip from the 'Heads to be part of this special day. We thank all of you for your love and support.
