Thomas' Christening!

So sorry everyone that has taken me so long to putting this on the blog but better late than never..I hope!

The day was just so lovely and it meant so much to Simon and I to have all of our family and friends there to celebrate it with us (and those that weren't there I know you were thinking of us!). My Mum's sister (Aunt Aase) and her youngest daughter Kirsten came all the way from Norway and was it was so great so see them. My sister's eldest son Jacob wrote and read out a peom he wrote all by himself and it was just so beautiful it made me cry. Simon's sister then read a peom which made me cry even more! I had mascara running down my face but I didn't care ...Kiss eat your heart out!! Thomas was a very good boy during the service and only cried a little when he was actually baptised and put the water on his head. Simon and I were sure he'd be a real cheeky boy and be running around the church all the time, but as he wasn't feeling quite himself he stayed pretty near to us nearly all day.

We need to say a very big thank you to everyone that helped us, especially the grandparents, auntie Debbie, Sue, Matt and Alex....we wouldn't have made it through the day without you!! Sue, Matt and Alex...we loved having you to stay with us! You must promise to come and stay again soon!!?? Love you guys so much and missing you loads too!XX

Here are a few photos of a very special day...











Jacob's peom

Two small arms to hold you tight,
Two small feet to run,
Two small eyes full of love for you
One small son.

Catch the moment, put it in your heart,
The years too soon will fly
These are precious moments,
More than money can buy.

There’s nothing like a baby
To put new joy in life
And give each day new meaning
For a husband and his wife

A baby is sunshine
And moonbeams and more
Brightening your world
As never before.
One thing’s for sure
It’ll never be the same
Enjoy this special day.

Catch the moment, put it in your heart
And never let it go
Save it for the years to come
When he, too, will know.

Your precious little angel
Was sent from Heaven above
As you celebrate his christening
You’re surrounding him with love

God grant your little one
All the blessing of His gentle love.
Thomas was very lucky and received lots of lovey gifts and was thoroughly spoilt, we'll send out thank you cards just as soon as we can.

If anyone has any pictures could you please send them to us as we have lots of photo frames to fill!! Thank you. xxx
