We were fortunate enough to have both sets of Grandparents here at the same time. Marc was able to arrange for a baptism while they were all in town. We first celebrated the night before eating a family Moroccan dish bisteya which is chicken with nuts, cinnamon, stuffed in phyla dough. It was delicious.
The next morning we went to the church and met the Priest who is from Benin. The Baptism was held in French during the 9'oclock mass. It is a small service with about 20-30 people there. We usually go to the 11 o'clock mass which has around 500-700 people. During the ceremony, Norah was wearing the same outfit that Marc was baptised in (as well as his brother Craig). Priscilla brought it out of storage and to Morocco.
Afterwards we relaxed and had champagne brought in from Paris.
