My friends, Brian and Fiona's wee girl, Ruby June was christened on 5th November and they were kind enough to invite me and my Mum down for the service.
It was great to see them and the kids and after a fun day spent with the children we had a nice night out at a litttle Italian restaurant and were joined by Brian's Sister, Mary and her husband, Albert.
It turned out to be a long and late night and the next morning, the day of the Christening, we emerged from our slumber feeling a bit...jaded!
Unfortunately, my Mum was feeling more than a bit jaded and was unable to make the Christening service. However, after the ceremony everyone came back to the house and eventually Mum was able to join the festivities.
Ruby's Mum and Dad were very proud of her and she enjoyed her day, surrounded by the people who love her the most.
