Baptism

On Sunday, we went to the local Catholic church to see the baptisms of Brian and Lilia. They are the children of our neighbors, Blanca and Tino.

Four or five other children were also baptised. The service was very low-key, almost casual. The godparents brought fancy candles and decorated shells (to dip and pour the water) for the service. Pictures were taken by parents and friends and there were two professional photographers who gathered names and phone numbers after the ceremony.



Blanca and Tino cooked up some carne asada tacos on the barbeque for the neighborhood when we got home. Just like any good party, there was plenty to drink and too much to eat. The children were great. Blessed they are, the little angels.
