Hannah's Baptism and Birthday Celebration!

This past week we had a great celebration 
in Vermont!  Hannah was baptized on April 3rd
and her 1st birthday was April 6th!  Plus we had our
nephew Caleb's 10th birthday!  We had family
and friends from all over come to celebrate with us!
We rented a house in Morrisville, because we could
not hold 16 people in our place. We had a great week of food,
cake(s) and lots of games and excitement!
Here are a few highlights of the week!

 The week started out with Hannah's baptism at our church
The grandparents, uncles, aunties, cousins
and some friends were able to attend!  And we
were all surprised that Hannah did so well!  She
did not even cry when Pastor Ryan took her for
the baptismal portion!
After the service we had a first birthday and 
baptism party.  Hannah was quite overwhelmed,
as we showed up late for her own party and there
were a lot of people at the house.
 Hannah eventually got down and dirty with her cake.
I had to feed her a few bites before she would touch
the cake.  But then when all was said and done she loved
to play with the cake, squishing it in her fingers
and playing with the frosting.  She even smeared some
on my face as well.
Her Lolo (grandfather) gave her a huge
balloon for the party.  She loved to punch it!
Opening gifts took quite some time as she would
rip off small pieces of paper and hand them to us before
tearing taking off another piece.
 She liked the xylephone, she like to hit things
and she did great!
Hanging out with Dada!
We also got to celebrate our nephew Caleb's 10th
birthday while we were in Morrisville!  He loved to
play with Hannah, here he is showing her his new
drums he got for a gift.
 We made personal pizzas for dinner, the night
we celebrated Caleb's birthday.  Here is Adrian showing off his
pizza crust throwing skills!
 Hannah enjoyed the pizza as well!
 One of our trips out was to Cider Hollow and we also
did a wine tasting.  Here are the kids waiting for us to finish.
The cousins all together:
Caleb, Ella, Lydia, Clara, Dominic and Hannah!
 We had a pinata for Hannah's birthday but we did not
crack into it until a couple days later.  Hannah got the first
swing, too bad she could not have the contents of it!
