Due to some scheduling difficulties, we decided to have the baptism at my parents' church in Longview. And the baptism was performed by the priest that married me and Michael who also baptized Andrew - so special! My family all was there and Michael's parents and Lauren and Luke were able to make it too. And as with all my children's baptisms, no matter how much I have tried to schedule feedings and naps accordingly, it failed and poor Matthew cried for most of it because he was tired and just wanted to go to sleep. He settled down for the middle part though which was nice. :)
My sister Kristina and brother in law Oscar were his Godparents and we were honored to have them play a special role in Matthew's big day. We were so happy to finally have our little one baptized and receive his first sacrament! We finished up the day back at my parents' house with lunch and party afterwards with so many loving arms to hold and cuddle the little guest of honor. :)
