Riley was Baptized on February 27th! It was a nice intimate ceremony with one other family, and Riley was SO well behaved! He literally slept through the entire thing... I guess that is one good thing about Baptising a 2 week old baby! We wanted to get him Baptised before Lent because the church will not Baptise babies during Lent, and while Matt's parents were in town so that they could share in the festivities. It was also a very special occasion because Riley wore a Baptismal gown that my Grandma Daly handmade that I wore on my Baptism day along with the majority of my cousins on the Daly side of the family. Each child that has worn the gown has their name embroidered on the gown, so I am honored to have his name added.
Here are a few pictures of the Baptism, and of the reception that my parents hosted at their house after the ceremony. Thank you to everyone who helped make it a special day!!
