Mateo's baptism

What I will remember from this special day:
- the warm sun
- the beautiful ritual in church
- Father Anthony
- the bathrobes the godparents had to wear
- Father Anthony cutting Mateo's hair (but why?!)
- all the children around Mateo in church, looking at him and curious about all the things that were happening...
- how happy Joanne and Elias were - the picture illustrates it well!
- Mateo's calm character throughout the day.  I love you Mateo. 
- the family and friends who came to celebrate with us - thank you !!!
- the delicious food - Thank you Gaby, Mommy, Lily, Zouzou and Nadine!
- Mateo's cake with his picture on the icing - so cool!
- the party favors: portuguese pastel de nata - yam!
- the so so many gifts - I feel so overwhelmed with everyone's generosity...

It was a GREAT day !
- more pictures to come in the days ahead...
