Ok so her name was spelled wrong on the program and we were skipped/forgotten. And I am expecting that her certificate will be mailed with the wrong name printed on it. If not her name then mine.
But my baby girl was baptized. :) She was so good. No crying. Only alittle discomfort cause the priest poured some water in her eyes. But really who likes that!
Elleia was baptized in the same dress I was baptized in. :) Making the day even more treasured. I started tearing up. It was overwhelming to think that my baby girl wore my dress and my baptism candle was lite for the first time in 33 years. It was really overwhelming. I also started thinking about all the baby baptisms George and I have witnessed over the years.

We celebrated after the ceremony with friends and family at our home. My mom cooked for us. She made pork apritada, pancit and made lumpia. The lumpia was made by the whole family. We had a lumpia wrapping party the weekend before. Uncle Jon even made some. He wrapped better then Tita Melinda. :)
Elleia is one lucky girl. :)
