The Reception

Lily's Baptism: Kurnell backyard all ready for the feast

After the Baptism we adjourned to Kurnell for a celebration of today's big event. Glenn has the yard in a great condition, and, of course, the nice weather helps too!

Cecelie has been baking again - this is her cake for Lily.

Lily's Baptism: Yvonne with a happy Lily

Lily seems much happier now that somebody is playing with her. I can't recognise the hand, unfortunately.

Lily's Baptism: Yvonne feeding Lily

Yvonne feeding Lily, which really makes her happy. She is certainly taking after Cooper in the eating department. "See Food. Want Food."

Lily's Baptism: Yvonne feeding Lily

Lily enjoys eating, although she is looking a little sleepy here. It has, after all, been a busy day so far. And there's more to come.

Lily's Baptism: Cooper with a water pistol

Cooper with his water pistol. It was a hot day, and the boys did enjoy having water pistol fights.

A water pistol is always good for a drink.

Lily's Baptism: Lily and the cake, with Cooper wanting to sing \

Ah, Lily sees the cake, so it must be for eating. Lemme at it! Cooper looks to be clapping his hands, so we may have been singing something, though what I don't remember.

Lily's Baptism: Cutting the Baptism cake: Yvonne, Lily, Kelly, Cooper, Tynan and Flynn

Lily's first cake cutting experience - this end (the safe end, fortunately) of the knife looks quite interesting.

Lily's Baptism: Lily \

Lily helps to cut the cake - quite a grip she has there.

"I think I'll just sit here and watch what happens."

The rest of the day was taken up with chatting, and generally friendship. A very enjoyable day all round.
