Camden's Christening

For a precious baby boy:
Lord, protect this little boy
Who's loved so very much,
Show him everything there is
to see and hear and touch.

Thank You for Your presence
on this holy Christening Day....
May You lead this precious child
forever in Your way.

Sunday, November 25th was Camden's baptism. The event took place in Holstein at St. Paul Lutheran Church (the church I went to as I grew up). We asked my sister, my brother and my soon to be sister-in-law to be his Sponsors. Everything went so well! Grandma Sindt worked her sewing magic as Camden didn't quite fit into his baptism outfit.

Camden did really well during the service and exceptionally well during the celebration at the font. He only spit up once, fussed very little and seemed to enjoy looking at the congregation. We were quite pleased. We will always have such fond memories of Camden's first Thanksgiving Holiday and will always remember the promises we made at his Christening.

After the church service we celebrated the baptism with a big dinner held at Holstein's Community Center. We had barbecue ribs, chicken, and cheesy potatoes. Followed by tea ring, pumpkin pie, and a chiffon cake with strawberry/raspberry compote and whipped cream.

It was a rather large group with many long time friends of mine able to join us. Some who I haven't seen in a couple years. We couldn't have had a a more wonderful day!

A big thank you to Grandma and Grandpa Sindt for all the planning and execution. A special thank you to Aunt Paige who has made two trips from Phoenix during a very busy, very special time in her life (finishing her doctorate! My little sister is so dedicated and smart!).

And to Uncle Tony and Aunt Lisa who also have made two trips from Chicago to spoil the new little man. What great Godparents they will be to him.
