We arrived in Philadelphia on the 18th, just before a huge snowstorm hit the northeast the next day. All day Saturday we were on the phone with out of town relatives, trying to decide if it was safe enough to make the trip. In the end, part of Brian's family was unable to make it out of Maryland. Aunt Jenny, Anna's godmother, was delayed but was able to make it to the celebration following the ceremony.
The snow made a lovely backdrop for a special day. Anna looked beautiful in a gown worn by her grandmother, father, and uncle. She wore several baptismal rings from her father's side as well, and a beautiful St. Anne medal. She cried just a little bit when the water hit her forehead, but she quickly recovered and was all smiles. Her Uncle Mark and Aunt Jenny were proud godparents (and Aunt Laura, too, who stood in for Aunt Jenny as she was delayed from Ohio).
We gathered for lunch afterward and Anna was a good sport as she was passed around her relatives. It was a wonderful day, although we missed having some very important people there due to the snow.
