Elyssa's Weekend

We had a very fun-filled and busy weekend this past weekend. Everyone came out to celebrate our new family member! On Saturday evening we had a baby shower. Here is the precious girl, who slept through the whole thing.

Here is part of the decorations!


Here's the food ... oh so much and oh so good!

Gramma Buist and Cathy Jager.

Nanna Foster.
Johannah reading a hilarious version of the Owl and the Pussycat that we all helped to write.


And Karin opening all the lovely gifts.


The next morning we gathered at the Ottawa Reformed Presbyterian Church for Elyssa's baptism. It was a really nice service.

Here are Grampa Buist with his first grandchild, Hadassah and Papa Foster with his first grandchild, Elyssa.


Our cousin, Amanda, husband, Derek and son, Ezekiel made the long trek from Montreal for the service.
Hadassah and Mike.


Father, daughter and granddaughter.

Elyssa, Hadassah and their moms bonding.


The whole Buist clan.

So much fun!! I'm very sad I missed it - I planned to go but was sick (and still am). Elyssa may just be the prettiest little newborn I've ever seen!

Hope you're keeping well Irene!
