I finally found time to write about an important event for my family, which is the baptism of our youngest, fourth daughter. We finally christened it over the weekend on Sunday. The first 3 daughters were baptized before their first year, while Mima was baptized now at the age of two and a half. We agreed with the godparents that the baptism will take place in the beautiful small church of Saint Despot Stefan Lazarevic, which is located on the most famous mountain in the vicinity of Belgrade, Avala. It was really beautiful. We gathered the closest family members and performed the act of baptism.
It is customary for the child to undress and be barefoot, so that the ceremony can be completed. Godfather holds her in his arms all the time. Fortunately, Mima was calm and cooperative. At the end, the priest cut off a strand of hair that is kept as a memory.
Milica put on her new white dress just for the occasion and she empressed all round her, both with her smile and her appearrance.
After the baptism we went to the nearest restaurant on Avala, so called Čarapicev brest' it us an old ethno restaurant where you can try the most beautiful Serbian cousine, the meals are really delicious. We had a great lunch there while the children enjoyed their time outside. There are so many playground around, beautiful nature too. It was difficult to catch the children to enter the restaurant in order to eat.
My four daughters were very happy.
They found a dog near the restaurant and they were playing with it a lot.
It was really beautiful weekend full of joy and positive energy.
The photos were taken by my honor mobile phone.

Such a very nice family moment you were able to share. I am not a very religious person, but I recognize the importance of baptism for those who are.
I loved the photos of both places, the church is very different from the ones you find around here (Mexico), but I still found it beautiful.
Thanks so much. We have huge and beautiful churches in Serbia too but this one is build by wood and it is small but cute. I would like to visit churches in Mexico too. Greetings.
All the best for all the members of your beautiful family! Also about your youngest daughter, i wish to be blessed with love and happiness!
Thank you very much for your honest and lovely wishes. Greetings from Serbia
