Ellie's christening

The friends we went to the Clent Hills with yesterday invited us to Ellie's christening today...which was absolutely beautiful! They are Greek Orthodox (from Cyprus) so we couldn't actually understand anything that was going on. But that Southern European mind-set of accepting children even if they make some noise during the ceremony. Luckily, Max's friend Anna-Maria was there and her father is also Cypriot so he helped us to better understand what was happening and when the ceremony was actually offer (the officient kept talking, apparently he was giving advice to the Godfather!).

This was just one of our many exciting adventures today....we started off the day playing at the house while B.D. went to boxing, then walking up the hill to Treasure Island for Amit's birthday party (Max did great on the walk all the way up the hill), then the christening, then over to the Maclean's for Jeremy's 4th birthday in the Big Red Magic Bus! Max had such a fun-filled day he was exhausted when we got home.
