Baptism

On July 15th, Aryana was baptized at Christ the King, here in Lexington, KY. My parents and brother came in from Delaware to see their new granddaughter and niece for the first time, and Lee's parents came in also.

The Ho family and Auntie Rebecca and Uncle Tony drove here from Charleston to help us celebrate. Aryana wore a beautiful baptism dress that is three generations old.

Godmother Tina made sure Aryana didn't spit up on her baptism gown

The ceremony was really lovely, and Aryana was well behaved.

First photo with all the grandparents together!


All that baptizing wore Aryana out...

After the celebration, we had a little party with family and friends at the house. We had a Tuanquin style cookout.
