Christening Day! :)

On Sunday my little boy who is now 17 months got christened. Not the best idea getting a toddler christened and I think if me and Lloyd are ever to have another baby we will get him/her christened a lot earlier!

It was a lovely day, the weather was as nice as we could have hoped for, the church was lovely, the vicar was nice (and didn't seen too bothered by Zach screaming the place down) Before the Christening my main worry was Zach getting upset when he was baptised in the water, however before and after this Zach screamed, during the whole pouring water over his head stage he was happy as Larry!

It was just a very small family affair with only 20 guests invited, we were going to invite friends as well, however where do you draw the line at who to invite? So we invited close friends and family and then went for a lovely Sunday lunch at a nearby pub!

Zach got spoilt rotten with all the attention, pictures and gifts (which reminds me I must do some thank-you cards!!) He had a lovely day and even though he wont remember I did get some lovely photos of him with his family which I will put in a book for him to keep! I also took an order of service from the church for him to keep. The church also gives them a candle for them to keep which one of his Godparents lit for him, so that is also a nice little keepsake for him

So this is me, Lloyd and Baby Zachary (Who isn't really a baby anymore) This was one of the times where Zach was quiet as we had been feeding him raisins to keep him happy!

As we didn't want it to be a huge fussy, party day we decided not to splash out on an expensive christening cake that would just get eaten and then forgotten about, so I found a lovely cake is Asda which said was 32 portions and it was only £8 a bargain considering a specially made christening cake to feed the same would be around £35 - £40. I did a little decoration myself, adding Zach's name and date of the christening in some chocolate letters I bought from Sainsburys and I was very happy with it!

Hope you enjoyed reading this and all my other posts, If there is anything you would like me to blog about please let me know in the comments below or if you would like me to do an OOTD post for what we all wore (which I may do at some point anyway) please let me know! Will be back later today with my Snap of the day!!
