Christened

On April 15th, Ashton was christened.  We had quite a few family members travel to Cleveland to celebrate the occasion with us.  It was a wonderful day and we were so happy to formally welcome Ashton to the world.  His godparents are my sister, Erin, and Jeff's brother, Chris - what a lucky boy!  Ashton wore the same christening gown that Jeff wore when he was baptized.  Even more special, the gown was handmade by Jeff's great grandmother.  The service was very nice and Ashton did well, which was quite a feat given that it lasted a solid hour and a half. ;)  He did cry a bit when the water hit his head, but who could blame him?  That water was cold! 

Following the service, we had a nice brunch complete with bloody marys and mimosas.  We especially enjoyed the mustache straws that were served with our 'Cowboy Bloody Marys'.  Ashton snoozed for most of the brunch but joined in our mustache fun. :)

Thank you again to our family for making the trip to Ohio and making the day special for our little man.   We had a great weekend!
