Krystal's Naming Day




























Today we went to a beautiful naming day for baby Krystal.    It was particularly special to attend her naming day because Krystal wore our family gown.  Her mother Ashleigh is my mother's Goddaughter.  The gown was first worn by my mother for her Christening and has been subsequently worn by her siblings for their Christenings, my siblings and I for our Christenings, Ashleigh for her naming day, Freya and Keily for their naming days and now Krystal for hers.   We broke with tradition for Eli's naming day and he wore a suit. 

For the most part the day was truly lovely... until the cake came out and a very tired Eli decided that he wanted it straight away.  We offered up a cupcake to no avail, he wanted the cake!  Ashleigh quickly cut the cake and Eli was offered the very first piece but to the collective gasp of the entire party he swatted it away and nearly sent it flying.   After all of that and quite a few tears later he decided he wanted the cupcake afterall!
