Baptism and more Christmas festivities

Nicholas was baptized on Sunday! It was really special because Christy's Great Uncle Bill performed the ceremony at David's parents house, and because our church family, the Crums, came up from Columbus and Mike and April agreed to be Nicholas' Godparents. Christy's Aunt and Uncle Joyce also came from Pittsburgh. Afterwards, we all went to dinner at the Chophouse at the Avalon, the same hotel where we held our wedding reception (almost 3 years ago!).

This week was a busy week. David and his dad went hunting and brought home fresh pheasant, and then made pheasant parmesan. It was delicious. Christy also took a turn in the kitchen, making molasses cookies. Nicholas got tired out from watching, and took a nap on the kitchen table (with Grandma Machak right there to make sure he didn't fall off!). In other news, Nicholas turned 3 months old today. I'm having trouble with the computer putting the pictures in order today, so here they are in random order.
