The King is coronated!

Okay, so I suppose the technical term is baptized,

but the priest did say I was anointed with Christ
as priest, prophet, and king!

Here I am getting dressed in my gown!


"I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. . ."


"May Christ anoint you with the Chrism of Salvation. . ."


"Receive the light of Christ. . ."


I didn't cry at all during the entire ceremony -
I managed to maintain my composure, as kings must at such times.
However, my silly mommy couldn't hold herself together -
she cried and cried and cried!

Check out my post-coronation/baptism hair -- very regal, if I say so myself!

A well-deserved nap after a long and exhausting day!
