Holy Water

Growing up Catholic there are 3 big religious days you have during your childhood. The first is baptism. During baptism you are welcomed into the church, washed of original sin, and are assigned a set of god-parents. That, of course, is the very brief explanation. Baby Eli was baptized in the same church as Lili and Felix were baptized in. It was a really lovely ceremony. Eli didn't cry when dunked naked into the holy water and looked way too cute in his little white jumper with matching white cap. Aunt Crissy forgot her camera so I took tons of pictures.
