Baptism!

When Sienna was just over 6 months old we had her Baptism. We had it at St Elpheges's church in Wallington and the party afterwards at Epsom Downs Golf Club, it was a fabulous day!

Frances did a amazing job organising and sorting everything out. We can't thank her enough. Check out the amazing cakes she whipped up... amazing!!!
She also arranged lovely like pink bags of sugared almonds with a note of Sienna's name and Baptism date for guests to take home as a keepsake. So lovely!




Sienna wore the Christening gown that Dan, Fran and Laurence all wore and was made from France's wedding dress. She looked so adorable and the image of Fran when she was Baptised. It was amazing how similar they looked!


Sienna was a very well behaved little girl and we didn't hear a peep out of her all day. She just loved every minute of the attention, and not even a cry when the water was poured onto her head!


We had 3 godparents, Victoria Cookson, Laurence Hawkes and Tony Crinion. I think they will all do a fab job and be great role models for our little princess!

Mum and Dad took her home from the party about 9ish as she just wasn't going to sleep. We had her travel cot but I think she has got to the age now where we can't take her out and she will just fall asleep. She is so noisy and just wants to look about all the time. It hasn't stopped us from taking her out for dinners though, we just keep her up and she't happy. She soon falls asleep in the pushchair or car home and usually sleeps a lot the next day, so not such a bad thing!

She got so many lovely presents from everyone and lots of money too (I think about £300 which is amazing!). It's all gone into her bank account so she can enjoy that when she gets older. Nana and Grandad Hawkes bought her a lovely child's garden bench (we saw them at the County Show and loved them). It's in the garden ready for when she is older and can sit on it. Mum and Dad bought her a gorgeous white toy box which we are waiting to be delivered. It will be perfect for all her toys!
