This past Sunday Alexa was christened at our church. It was a wonderful day and we welcomed her into the church family. She did so well. Life is never predictable with a four month old, so we weren't sure. But she was soooo precious. She didn't protest a bit when the priest poured the baptismal water over her head. Her eyes got big and she looked at her daddy and the priest as if to say, "What's going on?" But not a peep.
Thanks to Alexa's Auntie Kelly, we have some great pictures of the day. And her Uncle Dale did a fabulous job of videotaping it, but I have not yet figured out how to convert that so it's viewable on the web. I'll put it on my list of things to do, I promise.
In the meantime, hopefully this will suffice:
Granny and Poppy entertained Alexa before service began.
Alexa's Momma, Oma, Poppy, Daddy, Granny (Godmother) and Uncle Patrick (Godfather) all got to participate!
Mommy's finger was a terrific snack while Alexa waited for the fun part.
Alexa isn't so sure about what's coming next...
And finally, the moment we all waited for.
Getting baptised takes a lot out of a girl!

The precious Campbell family.
Our precious nephew and niece, Smiley and Christabelle. He's such a loving big brother and cousin!
Proud mama and papa.

Whew... that was a lot of uploading. Remember: if you want to save and print a picture, click on the picture. This will take you to a larger version of it. Then right click on it and click on Save as... or Save Picture as.... Then save it where you want to on your computer.
