Orlaith Nolan’s Christening Party

We were in Dublin last weekend for Orlaith Niamh Nolan’s Christening party. She successfully had water poured over her head, as the picture below proves. This upset Liam however, who branded the priest as “mean” for upsetting his smallest cousin.

Heike is prominent in the photo below as she was the proud godmother on this occasion.

Together with Louis she will ensure that Orlaith receives an appropriately spiritual upbringing. Or maybe not.

After the ritual dousing was over the festivities went on next door in the parish hall. About a third of the 80 guests were children, so it never got quiet or boring. Some of our pictures are shown below, more are available on the Picasa web album.
