Double celebration
June 19 was little Santi's birthday, and mom and dad waited for the weekend to have a proper two-in-one party and celebrate his baptism too.

I have a one year old! Y’all he’s not this past year has been the best year of my life. Having this beautiful soul to wake up to every morning and to put to bed every night has been magical.” she posted on her social media last week to mark the special date. “Every laugh and giggle that comes out of your mouth and every smile that crosses your face has been pure joy! Thank you for choosing me as your mamá! I love you amor mio! Happy Birthday Santi baby!"

Part of Santi's life
María and Amaury helped out Santi's busy parents during the celebration. They fed and looked after the little one. And that was completely fine by him! The new godparents are part of the family and spent lots of time with Eva and her husband. Just a few days prior to the event, they joined Eva and the toddler on an unforgettable trip to Disneyland.

Say cheese!
Santi is a special child, therefore… he has not one, not two, but THREE godparents! And they were all jokingly vying to hold the baby for the official picture. Eugenio López, famous philanthropist and art collector, was the winner of the prize. He proudly held Santi while María and Amaury smiled: "My godson is so beautiful," the actress posted, "so are my two compadres!”

The calm before the storm...
Let the party begin! After the baptism ceremony, Eva and Pepe posed with the godparents to kick off the pool bash. "So happy to celebrate and share this honor with you," commented María in one of her posts. The ladies, all dressed in white, looked beautiful and very summery. On top of the table, there were two cakes: one with a prayer bead sugar detail on top to celebrate the christening and another one to mark Santi's birthday. Little did they know, that a little catastrophe was about to unfold.

Funniest moment ever!
Yes, those cakes were too close… to Santi's tiny feet! Eva shared with her fans the cutest anecdote of the day: “Santi kicked his cake," wrote the actress. But Amaury, like a good godfather, reacted quickly and cleaned the baby. Well, at least they had two cakes!
