Helena was christened on December 27th at Immaculate Conception church on the UD campus. This church has special significance to our family because it is the church where my parents were married. The christening was so special because we had many dear loved ones and friends with us. On a smaller scale, it reminded me of our wedding and how rare it is to have so many loved ones in the same place at the same time. It was a great day for family. Matt's parents made the trip all the way from New Jersey and brought the precious christening gown that dates back to the 1800s. Almost all the members of Wayne's (Matt's dad) family had worn the gown at their christening, including Matt. It was such an honor for us to be a part of this Samson family tradition. We were so touched that so many friends and family members made the effort to be there. Mom and Dad threw a wonderful party at the house afterwards and a good time was had by all!
