Evie's Christening

10th December 2006

 

 

What a fantastic day.  Evelyn Charlotte May was Christened on 10th December 2006 at St Mary's Church in Fairford.  Thanks to Rev Brian Atkinson for a friendly service.  Evie's Godparents are Auntie Julie, James and Katie Moor.  Unfortunately, being in Oz, James and Katie were unable to attend and Liz and Michael volunteered to be proxy Godparents.

 

Evie thoroughly enjoyed being the centre of attention.  She thrives where there are lots of people, loving to watch all the action.  She also seems to put on her best behaviour for visitors and today was no exception.  She uttered the appropriate whimper at the water anointing but was otherwise in her element and fell asleep on cue as we exited the church for the reception at the Bull Hotel. 

 

She is still at the stage of being mesmerised by the camera so no smiles 'on film', I'm afraid.  Loads of good photos though so I'll just frame them up below.
