A Double Makris Baptism

We celebrated John and George's baptism last weekend. The entire Makris family came into town for the occasion, and it was the first time that all five cousins were together. On Saturday, we enjoyed some fun at Uncle Chris and Aunt Stacie's pool and a delicious barbecue afterwards.

On Sunday, John put on the same baptismal romper and bonnet that Henry wore, and he looked just as darling. Henry was ecstatic to discover that his new church shoes made a loud noise when he stomped his feet, so he did a lot of tap dancing throughout the day.

John and George were baptized at Holy Spirit Catholic Church. John's godparents are my dear friends, Matt Phillips and Lauren Dykes. Matt and I have been friends since high school, and he also served as the "Man of Honor" at my wedding. Lauren and I met at church while we were pregnant with Henry and Colin. We gave birth to our second sons just ten days apart. George's Godparents are Uncle Alex and Aunt Anna.

After the baptism, we came back to our house for a celebration lunch. We enjoyed Greek food and some Makris party staples: candy, Coca-Cola, and punch. John was definitely partied out by the end of the day.
