the party under the big tree

we celebrated the baptism of two of our children yesterday, it was a wonderful day, just perfect to set up for a big fest under our chestnut tree in the garden behind the house. the streamers have been prepared a while ago

 

the kids godparents and their families joined us and all the grandparents and an other couple of friends. lots of kids running and loving to eat parmesan, digging on their own with the cheese knife. eating lots of marinated olives and fresh bread. i was enjoying all those friends from very different angles of our lives coming together and celebrating. i'm so very thankful to God our creator for our family and everyone helping our kids to find their way in life.
