Alexis' Baptism

For our first trip as a family of four we headed out to Philadelphia and to see Jill's parents, brother, sister and my parents for Alexis' baptism. The flights were relatively uneventful to our surprise. Evan played on his i-pod and watched Dora and Diego and Alexis slept the whole time. We were proud of Evan for using the airplane potty several times, keeping his underwear dry for the whole flight.

On Sunday, January 10 we got Alexis baptized. Uncle Jeff did a great job as her godfather. The service was wonderful and Alexis tolerated water being poured on her head. We were thankful to Aunt Jennifer who distracted Evan during the sermon. Mostly we were thankful that both sets of grandparents got to be there for Alexis's special day.

Here is Alexis in her christening dress:

Here we all are at Jill's church:

We went to brunch afterward and Evan found a chocolate fountain. Needless to say he enjoyed it.

We also took a trip to Longwood Gardens to see the fantastic lights and plants. There was a new kids section with a bunch of fountains, which of course Evan loved.

We got a bunch of good family photos for once so I thought I'd post them.

It was very special having everyone together for this one visit. Can't wait to do it again soon!
