Thomas is Baptized

We drove down to Newport Saturday morning and stayed at the Balboa Bay Club before heading into LA Sunday morning February 14 (Heff's birthday!) for our little godson Thomas Harsanyi Heffernan's baptism. It was a beautiful day in LA and a great celebration followed at the LA Heff's House. Congrats and thanks for honoring us as godparents Andrea and Craig. We promise to take the role seriously :) We love you guys!

I still haven't brought myself to buy a pack-and-play but this little PeaPod tent worked great for Maisie! (a last minute Friday night purchase from Babies R Us- always a fun place to frequent on a Friday night especially when I drag Christian with me!)

Heff walked Francie out for coffee when they woke up and got her pancakes from McDonalds. Maisie and I much prefer room service :)

Getting ready for mass

Jannie and John made the drive down to join in the festivities for the weekend too!

We tortured Francie and Isabel by arriving 5 minutes before church and then throwing them in the pew together for a 1.5 hour mass! They were hilarious together but a big challenge to keep quiet/well behaved. Afterwards they all played outside before the actual baptism part of the day

then back in church to baptize Thomas!

Don't worry- I'll protect you from that smelly oil Thomsci!

Cousin Romey kept Maisie enthralled at the end of the ceremony

I know it was long Thomas but it wasn't that bad!

Back to the Heff's for a party (wait, Jannie is TALKING on her iPhone and not playing Words with Friends?!?!)

February 14- a good day to celebrate lots of things!

Isabel's just not sure why one of those things isn't her (wonder why she and Francie get along so well?)

Uncle Cake down on their level

What's a party without headlamps?

Isabel got a big girl bed the same weekend Francie did

The girls did some art projects in her room until we found them with paint brushes in hand looking for trouble

My godson

Isabel has "a thing" for ear lobes...

Maisie obliges... but see's an opportunity

Got a taste

and wants more

"Ahhh. My cupcake"

"Almost snagged it!"

"I'll just take yours mom!"

Isabel back for some aggressively affectionate love

and a Cheesecake Oma made for Daddy's birthday!

Make a wish

Happy Birthday Heff!
