On Saturday my son was given a name and baptized here in his own home. There was plenty of drama involved. His older sister had a high fever before and after (but at least not during) the party and the ceremony was interrupted by his younger sister's first nosebleed ever. We also really wrestled with the name issue with final discussions taking place a little last minute, the night before. Other than all that and the vicar showing up late, everything was just beautiful. I thoroughly enjoyed the presence of family as well as the result of hours of cleaning. I even finished the special outfit well on time. But one of the absolute best things about having a party comes afterwards, on the next day around lunch time, when you remember that there is still some leftover cake for dessert.
