The Hoppers: The BIG day!

Finally, the big day had come. Evan was baptized! I am so thrilled. The day had a rocky start, but couldn't have gone any better. Evan woke up in a grumpy mood. We tried to put him down for a nap three times before church. He wanted nothing to do with it. I was getting very stressed out that he was going to scream through out the church service. Eventually, we just headed to church with no nap Evan. Surprisingly, he was a doll! Sure he was kind of loud at times, but he never cried and stayed occupied. He really enjoyed waving 'HI' to everyone! God was looking out for us. In addition to being baptized, Evan also received his first communion. He was very confused by it the wafer. He just looked at it for a while and then finally put it in his mouth. He chewed on it for about 5 minutes and did not seem very pleased. After church we went to celebrate at Rudy's. Evan enjoyed some BBQ and hanging out with Nini and Grammy. Finally, at 2 o'clock, Evan finally went down for a nap. He was exhausted, but he had a great day!

Thanks to all the family that came out to celebrate today! It wouldn't have been the same without you!
