I realy loved the baptism ! Maxima and Wilem-Alexander looked so happy . Amalia was realy cute . She couldn't sit still and was running to her grandmother ( Carmen) .When they were standing around the water from the Jordaan, Amalia was pulling on Maxima hat . I found that Mathilde's wish was the most beautiful . It was like :
Dear Alexia , i wish you a happy life in your warm family , with you parents and big sister Amalia . That you may be a beautiful and warm person . And that you may bring love to those who have hard times .( I don't know the exact translation) . With the song " Nana" I saw a tear on Maxima's face .
Also Countess Eloise was there. Prince Filip of Belgium was sitting next to Princess Marilene and Prins Maurits and the were all the time talking ( I'm sure it was about Felicia and Emmanuel ) . After the baptism , Amalia waved to the camera !

i think mabel is ugly.i can´t say why i think so. but in my eyes she looks ugly.

 

[Sancia]

Thank you very much.
I love Mabel's outfit but it would be better with another colour than grey.

 

[Maxie]

Thank you for the pics!

Here's one:

Hmmm, she really likes dark lipstick, doesn't she?

I think Maxima looked great, though her hat was a little too big for my taste.
Laurentien looked great too, I really liked the cut of her dress (I know, I know, but I really do love pink), but the hat is a bit stupid.
The Queen and Carmen looked very stylish, imo.
Mathilde was just lovely, as usual.

Hey, there wasn't one of them whose outfit made me scream out loud! I think that's a good thing.

Maxima's hat wow, I can't say it was bad or awul, I like it
Little Amalia looks sweet in her dress, maybe too long and dark but nice. She stole attention from her sister when she start walking during the baptism. Alexia just sweet baby

 

[carlota]

wow! finally the pics are here... i was looking so forward to this baptism!!

alexia is looking absolutely cute. in some way she resembles a lot to amalia, but her eyes seem to have got some greenish colour. her face also seems slimer. she is a really cute baby. love her eyes and that lovely blonde hair.

maxima's outfit was beautiful, the only part that didn't convince me was the hat (it's not that it doesn't suit her, but if the flower was a little bit smaller it would have been better, her face seems to vanish with such a big hat!). amalia look absolutely gorgeous in her dark dress with the victorian neckline. her hair also seemed to be straightened and she was so smilie... loved the way she run to her maternal grandmother during the ceremony to be with her. i thought she wasn't able to see her much, but they apparently are quite close, which is really good. it's great she is also close to her argentinian side as she will soon be considered the first south american-european royalby birth to seat some day in a european throne, and i also loved the idea of her talking spanish with that beautiful argentinian accent

si, who were finally the godparents? i was also thinking if luana, the daughter of friso and mabel was already baptised, or if she isn't or they don't plan to baptise her or whatever. any information about her? mabel looks good but i would hope she doesn't use always the same type of viktor and rolf outfits. it's beggining to be kind of predictable, and predictable things are sometimes not good.

did alexia use the same christening gown as amalia?

anita is looking great. i loved her coat and that tiny purse she has... wasn't aimee there?

 

[Amira]

who are the god-parents?!

What a sweet baby Alexia is! And I love Amalia's dress. However, I don't think much of Maxima's hat, although the whole outfit was ok.
