Baptism / Easter / Birthday Celebration 16Apr06

Kyle was baptized on Easter Sunday at St. Johns in Fenton, at the Noon mass. He was one of three children that were baptized. He was the oldest of the three. The other two children were totally immersed – dunked into the baptismal pool. Kyle was baptized the traditional method, where the water was poured over his head.

Kyle would like to thank his new Godparents, Uncle Kevin and Aunt Megan for flying out from Boston for the occasion. Kyle’s Great Aunt Linda Vitali made a beautiful baptismal blanket to commemorate the occasion. We are sure that Kyle will treasure it.

After the baptism, our family gathered for a celebration at our house. After dinner we celebrated Kyle’s birthday with a cake. Kyle had his own special cake, to celebrate the occasion. He had just gotten up from his nap and was still tired when he started eating it. After about 10 minutes, the sugar from the cake kicked in. I think he had more cake on his face, hair, ears and cloths then in his mouth. Kyle’s cousin Blake wanted to show him how to eat his cake, and kept remarking how “He’s making a mess!”

Kyle received many wonderful toys which are sure to entertain him. He also received money and bonds that mom and dad will deposit in his college fund. Kyle would like to say “Baa, baa, ba (Thank you very much)” to everyone for the kind gifts.
