Sunday, Oct 23 was a great day! First we celebrated Landon's Baptism and then Grant's 4th Birthday (Nov 4). Such wonderful things to celebrate and we had great family to celebrate with.
The Meidam Baptism gown. This gown has been worn for generations! I should have taken the picture before he wore it, when it was beautifully pressed, but I didn't. Grant, Alayna and now Landon all wore this gown.
Above are all the people in our family who have worn the gown. Great Grandpa Meidam, Papa (Brian's Dad), Brian and his sister, his sister's 3 kids and ours. What a great tradition.
We were so happy that Great Grandpa and Grandma Meidam and Great Grandma Schmidt were able to make it.
A big day - he did awesome. The Pastor commented that he must like bathtime because he didn't make a peep when the water was poured on his head.
Baptism blanket made by Grandma Kok to match the blankets Grant and Alayna had made by Great Grandma Vande Zande
Cake "God Bless Landon Charles" I asked for white frosting with blue trim. Somehow I ended up with yellow writing. Oh well - it all tastes the same, but for the record - I did not request yellow writing.
It was a big day! Under his gown he wore this sleeper that says "Thank Heaven for Little Boys"
And since our family was in town for the baptism celebration, we decided to celebrate Grant's 4th birthday too! 4 - really? Can it really be possible?
This year's party - sports! (easy cake - round ball!)
One of his presents - a camera. He was all about taking pics of everything! If you asked him what he wanted for his birthday - he would have told you a camera.
All of our cousins.
It was a wonderful day. We were thankful all of our family was able to celebrate with us. We are very blessed!
