LUCAS' CHRISTENING




Sunday was the big day, months of planning a winter themed christening, fell into place and was a success.
Four families and handful of friends came together to witness Lucas get christened and then tucked into some yummy food.


The christening!
God Parents
We chose 2 god parents.
Kai & Mark as godfathers.
We thought so hard and made the decision to chose these 3, we wanted someone with a close bond and relationship with Lucas, people who were really good with him and who we knew would be great for guidance as he grew up. 
Our outfit’s
Lucas wore a grey pinstriped suit from america, Flat cap from DEBENHAMS, and little Burgundy converse from OFFICE.
Brad wore a navy suit and pale blue shirt all from TOPMAN, tie from TOPMAN and Faux Navy Vans from BOOHOO.
&
Nicole wore a navy blue velvet dress from BOOHOO, blue bow from LOLAS WARDROBE and taupe wedges from TOPSHOP.

We chose the peartree pub as it was next to my mums house and opposite the church, so was a perfect place. It needed a little TLC but 2 hours of decorating and it was lovely.
We chose wintery desserts and warm, filling food for main.image

We had slow cookers filled with soups, stews and chilli and french sticks, tortillas and dips. It was a hit and OH SO YUMMY! We had winter thmed desserts, lots of marshmellows, cake pops, cakes and biscuits but best of all was Lucas’ cake.

Lucas also had a wishing tree, People wrote little messages and wishes for Lucas and hung them on the tree, the tags will go into his baby book to keep forever.

We also provided a kids table as well to keep them all occupied.

The night before also consisted of making 20 pom poms but was so worth it.

All in all it was a lovely day! We thank everyone who came and were sorry we couldn’t have invited more people.

Lucas looked so cute and babbled through the whole service.

It all proved a little overwheming for him and he fell asleep in mummy’s arms.
