Coco's christening was a magical day. The weather has been less than fabulous these last few days, but this past Sunday the skies were blue and the sun came out for Miss Coco.
She wore hubby's christening gown, the one Landon also wore. We couldn't help spreading it out and making her look like Scarlett O'hara. Fiddle dee dee.
I hired a caterer for the first time ever, a lady from my church. I learned two things: 1) It's expensive! 2) It was amazing and I didn't lift a finger!
The menu was:
Finger sandwiches: Egg salad with fresh dill, crab salad, chicken salad with nuts and raisins
Butter lettuce salad with vinaigrette
Purple Potato Salad (seasonal)
For the kids:
Mac and cheese
PB & J's
Dessert:
Coco-nut cake!
Chocolate cupcakes with strawberry frosting
I had photos of Coco and pink peonies on all the tables, bubbles, art projects, and the sand table set up for the kids. It went so smoothly it was insane. I couldn't believe it!!!
Most of all I am so happy for Coco and her amazing church family!!

Gorgeous picture of Coco is the gown! Your table looks wonderful! Glad the day went so smoothly! Caterer - I think you deserve that + more considering you are taking care of Coco and big brother Landon ;-) xoxo

So beautiful! It looked like a fabulous celebration. The only time we have hired caterers was when our kiddos were Baptized. Huge expense but so worth it when you have an infant.
She looks ADORABLE!!! Glad the party went well.
Sounds like it was a wonderful day and her gown is beautiful!
I have such fond memories of my children's Christenings and having everyone back to the house afterwards to celebrate...it truly is a special day!
Miss Coco is just precious!! How awesome she wore the same gown as your husband and Landon.
She really is so lovely and what a miracle/blessing your children are....so glad the day was as special as your sweet family!!!
Blessings!!!
She is absolutely an Angel! What a gorgeous photo of a beautiful baby girl!
I love it when I don't have to do anything but enjoy my parties! lol!
Looks like it was truly a wonderful time!
I am months behind on reading blogs but had to tell you how completely precious your little ones are!
Congratulations! I am glad it went so well. I love the family christening gown....
Beautiful dress! I love it.
What a beautiful christening gown. You must have been so proud. As for the catering, I believe you when you say it is expensive. Probably why I haven't used caterers myself yet. hehehe. I wish you all well for the future. Coco, you are a beautiful little girl.
What an exquisite Christening gown! I would expect nothing less for our exquisite Miss Coco, but how extra cool that it is also a family heirloom.
Your luncheon spread looks beautiful! No paper plates in the garage for this special day, I take it?
