Today was a family day out. It was the Christening of my new baby cousin, Blake Tait. A couple of weeks my mam asked me if I wanted to Brian to go ad I thought he'd like to, so he was coming too. I was really looking forward to it because he would be able to meet my family. I got ready and I made sure my hair and make-up were really nice. I was wearing my purple dress with purple heels and I had a bit of tan on me because I am so pale, I hate it especially when it's summer. Anyway when we were all ready we went up to collect Brian and bring him with us. He looked really nice wearing a white shirt and his caramel coloured chinos. When he got into the car he whispered in my ear "You look beautiful" I was flattered because he is so sweet to me. I love him to bits <3


We arrived at the venue in Clondalkin, Boomers Pub. There was a room upstairs that we were shown to, it was beautiful. There was the bar to the right and a stage in front with presents and a cake, we recognized a few faces and Brian was so nervous because he didn't know anyone so he stayed at my side. We went over to my cousin Lyndsay, the mother of Blake and we gave her the present we got for Blake. We got a bear from the bear factory which we called it Blake too, it was soft and fluffy and we thought he would love it. My uncle asked who Brian was and my dad said "Her fella" pointing at me, my uncle then shook Brian's hand and said "Good on ye" Brian was looking at me and I was trying to hold in my laughter.


My mam took a picture of Blake Tait with his mammy Lyndsay and daddy Matty. 

We sat at a table in the middle of the floor beside Trisha and Ian and John and Delores. Ian and Trisha's baby Chloe was there, last time I saw her She was about 1 and when I saw her now she was now 3 so she had changed a lot. Me and Brian started chatting away because I knew he felt on his own. My dad asked us did we want an alcohol drink. Brian got a pint of Budweiser and I got a bottle of Budweiser. There was also food and my mam put loads on a plate for me and Brian, there was sausages, wedges, chicken goujons and chicken pieces on a bone. It was so hot upstairs so me and Brian kept going outside to get some air and we went to the shops that were over the other side of the car park. 


Every now and then we came back to chat with my family again and we ate some more food, and then I got to hold my other new cousin. Trisha and Ian's second baby was born 8 weeks ago and she was so cute. Her name was Holly. She was so light and small, I couldn't believe that she had little nails, eyebrows and eyelashes. My dad took a picture of me and Brian with me holding her.

 After being there for almost 4 hours we decided to make a move as my mam calls it. We went over to where Blake was and he was in his pram wearing nothing but a nappy like a BOSS!! Even though I didn't get to hold him, I didn't mind because he was burning up so that's why he wasn't wearing any clothes. He looked beautiful and he was there chewing away on his on fist like you do. We said our goodbyes and headed home. Brian wanted to go back home with us so when we got back, we sat out the back for a while and then me and Brian went inside to watch a bit of television and then we watched this thing with my family. It was like all celebrities play football for a charity. It was good and the day was a success.
