Angus' Christening

My sister arrived home for a months holiday with her family last week and so we organised to have Angus christened on the weekend. My sister and Jim's brother were godparents (see photo). We had a lovely day, with 38 mostly family and a few friends help us celebrate. Thank god for mine and Jim's mum helping me out with catering and just general organisation for so many people, because of them the day went quite smoothly. Tom had a wonderful time with ALL his cousins here - yep that's a total of 10 cousins ranging from 17 y.o. to the same age as Angus. So it was crazy and chaotic, but a lot of fun seeing them all interact together.


My sisters kids were very excited to see how much Tom had grown (they left just before he turned one) and also to meet Angus - here's some photos. Zoe is the youngest of Sue's kids and just fell in love with Angus, and he with her. She has big blue eyes and Angus would just stare into them and be quite content. I think they sat there for the best part of an hour with him just gurgling and she cooing back to him - very cute. A photo of my mum and Aunty Suzi is above and follwing is a photo of Cousin Cal, Tom and Angus. Sue and I were watching Tom at one stage and he was playing out in the back yard and would randomly just go and hug Cal for no reason. It was great, he was just sooo excited to have a big boy around. It's a pity that they live so far away, even though they are really enjoying themselves and it's going well for them there.
