Leia's Christening

Here are a few pictures of Leia's Christening. :)

We had a very nice dinner at the summer house and then we opened presents. Leia received some of the most beautiful gifts. :) And then we went to the church and put Leia in the Christening Gown. It is from 1885 (123 years old). And Leia is the 23rd baby to wear it. :)







It was Fredrik, Leia and I, along with Farmor o Farfar, Great-Great Aunt Gittan, and Aunt Aina. :) And then there were 14 other people in the church for the regular church service. The Priest (who did an excellent job, we really like him) carried Leia around and let everyone look at her after the Christening, and a woman sitting in the back took a picture of her. :)))
He gave her a kiss, too, and the look on her face was priceless. :))

She behaved excellently. :) She cried when the organ started, but other than that, she was perfect as pie.

We stayed for a little while longer, he started the services at 18.00, did the Christening, and then continued with the rest of the service, but we left right before 19.00, so that we could catch the ferry, and make it back to Åmål before it got too late.

Tomorrow I will try to have a link completed for a viewing of all the pictures!
