Nathaniel's baptism

Due to popular demand and written insults i have pulled my finger out and here is Nathaniels Christening post.
It seems the google calander has been full every weekend for the previous month but no event was more anticipated than Nate's big day. The weather was going to be hot so the full suits went away and Marshall and Xander searched for smart shirts.
The usual plan swung into action, we have done this a few times now, and the Dawsons went to church for mass and then everyone else arrived after for the baptism. Xander was particulary keen to see Father Staunton as he had a couple of questions.

"How old is God?"
"How big is God's house?"
He also got a keep quiet lecture and this ended up as "You must keep quiet in God's house because God is old and he doesn't like too much noise." (whatever works)

Mass was on the long side and the Musketeers whilst behaving immaculately started to get a tad bored so we were glad when mass was over and we welcomed the family into the church.

There were three families having a baptism and the congregation of the others didnt prescribe to Xanders theory of being quiet in church. Im sure a few had burnt retinas the stares Dette was giving them but Nathaniel was good and was seemed to enjoy the service. Uncle Marty and Auntie Liz were kind enough to be Nathaniels god parents (Were running out of Catholics)

Gran's sandwiches and Grandma's savouries at Carmels house afterwards. What a spread and a glass of bubbly as well. We took some formal snaps too. Thanks to everyone for the lovely gifts.
