Christening

The girls got christened this morning at Holy Trinity. Their godmothers Lauren (above) and Monica (below) wrangled them into their fancy gowns.
Ilsa was more cooperative this morning. Meribel started howling with outrage once she got anointed with the water
After the church service, due to heavy downpours in the city the planned for picnic in Central Park was moved back to our apartment. It was the girls first time seeing rain, as Sacramento has been dry since before they were born. So they sat on the couch and held court, like a pair of princesses.
All the girls extended cousins from Westchester and LI showed up, along with their great aunt and uncle. So there was a lot of excited children in the apartment. The girl in the middle, Karenna is the only girl on both sides of her family, so it must be vexing for her dealing with a whole cub scout troop of loud boys all the time.
