Coles Family: Alaina's Baptism

Well the Big day finally came! I have been planning for almost a month! Brandon thought I was crazy :) Let me paint a picture for you......
I was worrying the whole time, would I have enough food for after, where should I hold the luncheon?? It was going to be Alaina's nap time during the baptism, will she be cranky the whole time?? Will she cry during the whole service?? What food to serve, the cake? What to wear?
Finally I decided to have it at the legion and I would bring her playpen to put her down if needed.....but she's not use to her playpen anymore, so yesterday she napped in it in our room to get acquainted. She did fine, one less thing to worry about. I decided to go with a cupcake cake and all finger foods. I thought back to my showers and how much was left over, and planned from there.
It was the day before and we were preparing the food at the legion. I had forgotten about alot of little things, cream for the coffee, ice, etc. Good thing for family!!! Thanks ALOT again Aunt Theresa and Uncle Gary!! I got home about 9pm and I had to iron and pack Alaina's cooler bag. Finally it was time to relax and go to bed. Well didn't Alaina decide to wake up 3 times and the last time she was up for 2 hours dozing off and on! I was thinking great, just what I was worrying about, should be interesting tomorrow :(
Now it's Sunday morning and we are heading to the church and Alaina is looking pretty tired! Well she was the perfect little angel and I was SO PROUD!! She was good during the whole service and baptism (almost and hour and a half). She wimpered a little bit when he was soaking her head, but what kid wouldn't! We had to towel her off after lol. Everyone commented on how good she was and asked if she is always like that, made me feel soo good as a mom! Now we are at the legion and I set Alaina up with her lunch and ate along with her. She giggled and smiled at everyone and ended up staying awake and being good the whole time!! It turned out to be perfect, very few leftovers, most things were cleaned right up!! She snuggled at the end with Auntie Hope (Godmom) and almost gave into the sleep fairy. We got home at about 2:30pm and she went straight to bed! She's still sleeping, I'm relaxing by posting and bragging about my perfect baby :) and Brandon is playing road hockey with the neighbour boys. Perfect end to a perfect day! You will notice Alaina isn't smiling in most pics, she was just too tired or distracted :( Enjoy anyway
