Cal's 1st trip to NY






We had an incredible trip to NY for Calvin's christening.  It was such an unforgettable time.  Calvin was such a good boy on his 1st plane ride.  Having daddy, gaga and grandpa there made the 5 hour flight a breeze.  Once we landed the whirlwind began.  The 1st weekend was spent enjoying time together, sightseeing for the Stephens' and Calvin's baptism. Sunday was truly a day that our family will never forget.  The ceremony was beautiful and very emotional.  It meant so much to us to have Denise and Pete become Calvin's Godparents.  Then we were off to a delicious family dinner where all 4 grandparents were together! And to finish off the day Uncle Bobby and Aunt Chrissy hosted an amazing "after party" where Calvin got to meet family and friends.  We were even surprised by Bobby with a bagpiper to celebrate!  Having Spencer's parents made the whole experience just perfect.
The rest of the week was spent relaxing and visiting with everyone.  Calvin even had a sleepover at Grandpa's house upstate.  It was so wonderful to see him with his Greatgrandma.  Calvin is so lucky to have her.  What an incredible gift to have 4 generations together.
To my family and friends - thank you so much for an unforgettable week.  Calvin is so blessed to have such a loving home in NY.  Even though you may not get to see him everyday please know that you are a huge part of his life.  Our trips to NY are going to be such an important of his growing up.
Here are a bunch of pictures from our trip.  More of the church will be posted later when I get them from others.  
Love to all!!
