I haven't been around here much lately. I've been very busy helping my sister organize my nephew Henrique's baptism. The baptism is tomorrow.
Between buying Henrique's clothes, hiring the restaurant and the children's entertainers, decorating the party, finding a choir for the ceremony, buying clothes for me and my children... it's been a rush. I've always been working, we did everything when I got off work. This morning I went with my mother, my sister and a friend to decorate the church with flowers. The church is beautiful, you can see the baptismal font in the photo.
My mother's birthday is today, so we're having a special dinner at home, this time with more people as some family members who live far away arrived today to go to the baptism tomorrow. I bought her an orchid and a silver piece for her Pandora bracelet. She deserves everything
The weather seems to be helping and it will be sunny tomorrow
Hope everything is well with you all .

Wow, you have been busy! Lot's of preparation for Henrique's christening. I hope everything is beautiful and wonderful tomorrow during the christening. I'm sure it will be, as it sounds like you put in a lot of thought and hard work to make it special.
Happy Birthday to your mom! I hope she has a wonderful day celebrating!
And I hope that after this weekend you have a chance to rest and relax a little bit.
