Baptism

My good friends Chris and Dee Ederer had their baby boy baptised today.  Ian Christopher was welcomed into the church of God at St. Mary's of Bellevue, NE. 


One of many beautiful windows in the church.

                                     

Above the altar is this very huge cross....gorgeous.

A small group of family and close friends was in attendance to witness the blessed event.  He didn't really appreciate the water running down his perfectly shaped head.  After the Deacon finished the Christening, Ian had been fussing and when the word "Amen" had been said, Ian fussed again and the Deacon stated (directing his words towards Ian) that he was all done.  Ian then made a sound that sounded just like he himself said "Amen!"  Everyone laughed because they thought they heard the same thing!  It was very cute!

Ian's sponsors are Chris's brother Greg and Dee's sister-in-law Lori.  Here is Lori holding Ian during the Christening.  Greg is standing behind the Deacon. 

Afterwards we all went to Chris and Dee's house where we ate cake and ice cream.  Gifts were opened and we all went home.  He received many nice things such as crosses, picture frames and clothes.
