Weekend - Christening

We have had the most beautiful weekend, with lots of lovely memories to treasure for a long time to come.  It was amazing to see all six Grandchildren together, the first time actually.  Moments to cherish.  Victoria and Michael were overwhelmed by your wishes and prayers for Hector on his special day and send their sincere thanks.  They were happy for me to share some of the photos with you.


 
He wore the family christening gown that our daughters had worn, it really meant a lot.  It was a beautiful service and a beautiful church.  The one they had got married in and attend so a full church.
 
 
Such a beautiful little family.  Considering how many children were at the service it really was amazing how good they were, I was one proud Granny.
 
 
Of course I had to have a photo of my three girls together.
 
 
Even Hector was smiling for the camera.  Honey fell asleep when it was her time to be photographed, so we didn't disturb her choosing to wheel her pushchair into the photo.  The joy of seeing those children together made my heart skip.  They were so good wanting to please their Granny, despite not really wanting to have their photos taken. 
 
 
Look at Bertie talking to his cousin, it makes your heart melt.  Wilbur's suit didn't last long, the rest of it came off as soon as we left church.
 
It was a beautiful service, both uplifting and thought provoking.
 
We went to a lovely old English pub garden afterwards for a barbeque, it was lovely to spend some time with them all.  Victoria and Mike were fantastic hosts so it really was a wonderful gathering.  The flowers and décor were beautiful.
 

 
As was the stunning cake and yes it really did taste as good as it looked.
 
Just because, here they all are filling Granny's heart with pride and a love that never falters, they have brought so much joy into our lives.
 
 
 I have to say that Hector was a delight, he took everything in his stride and was a joy to behold.  Smiling at everyone and enjoying all the attention.
 
The final photo is so sweet, brotherly love.  Wilbur was happy to let Hector have such a special day and was the very proud big brother.
 
 
 
A beautiful weekend filled with love and laughter, what could be better?  Once again thank you for your prayers and best wishes.  Hope you all had a wonderful weekend.
 
See you soon.
