Baptism Day for Madi

Today was Madi's Baptism Day. It was a wonderful day spent with the people we all love and who love Madi very much!
Since we seem to be somewhat of an untraditional family, we decided to continue down that path which has been great for us, and Madi has 2 Godmothers instead of the traditional Godmother and Godfather pair! Madi is truly blessed to have two of the most INCREDIBLE women to be her Godmothers: In order of appearance in the picture:
Jacqueline Farinas Ruz and Maria Ramirez



Alex loves her baby sister!


Okay, so it's kind of like a wedding for us Cubans! This is the baptismal gown that Alex wore on her baptism. We were amazed that it fit Madison since Alex was baptized at 2 months of age and Madi is 14 months...and Madi is not a small baby by any means! But both of them look beautiful in this gown which, hopefully, will be passed down to their children one day...when I am an old Grandma!


This is it: The moment of Baptism when holy water is poured on one's head. Madi was a bit surprised by this turn of events, but no tears were shed.
