It snowed all night, so this how it looked like outside,when we woke up Sunday morning.
But still, there was beauty around.
Since it snowed, it was too cold to walk, so we hired a cab to bring us to the church to attend Aksel's christening. Lindsey and Chrstian youngest son. Me still wearing my pink coat, but I do change my dress inside:)
Here are the family on the way to the altar.
Lindsey's sister Cecilie and my daughter were the godmothers.
After the christening. Sweet pictue of the family.
Anyway, everybody went to Lindsey and Christian's lovenest after the ceremony.
The table was very nice decorated by Lindsey.
cute flower decor
this is my place
the gift table
Lindsey and Christian thanked us all for coming. We were teary eyed because it was a very special occasion that bond us together, even though her mother was not there. We seldom see each other because of the distance.
Foods that were served
Asparagus wrapped in ham and sprinkeld with cheese
Rolled salmon
tuna sandwich
green salad
sliced tomatoes and white cheese
fried potatoes with baked bread
meat balls
chocolate cake, cream cake and tiramishu
Meet the happy guests: Cecilie ( Lindsey's sister) with her family
Tracy Ann, the youngest sister
My youngest daughter Kamilla and Lindsey's parents-in-law
Since my sister, the original grandma coundn't be there, I was the substitute....
and our older sister.
Joachim helped his younger brother to unpacked the gifts and showed what was inside for him. Nice gesture:)
Saying goodbye with this picture of the kids enjoying unwrapping the gift and playing with the gift wrapper:)
