We had Spencer baptized on Sunday and it was such a special day. All of our family came into town and helped us celebrate our sweet, baby boy! I didn’t pick up my real camera the entire weekend and came away from the day Sunday with a bunch of “just ok” iphone pictures. I can’t believe I didn’t even get one decent one of Spencer in his outfit! Not to worry, I had a photographer come after the church service to take a ton of pics of Spencer and the whole family. Can’t wait to get them in a few weeks!
Here are the shots I did get…
Maxwell ready to go in his knee socks and saddle shoes. There are only so many chances a momma has to dress her little boy in outfits like this and I took full advantage! and, yes, there was a little bribery involved in convincing him to wear the socks! 🙂
Also, when did he get so tall and skinny? This little boy does not have one ounce of baby fat left. He’s just all legs, knees and elbows now!
Marching into the church and ready to go!
Who did we see when we walked up? LuLu! Maxwell was one happy little boy!
We then went into the parlor room to get Spencer ready and wait for the service to start. Here’s a blurry pic of our little family…
and a grainy pic of me and Maxwell…
and a not so good picture of Spencer with his adorable, chunky legs in some knee socks of his own!!
The legs of his bubble needed to be pulled up and his knee socks were a little bunchy there but, don’t worry, that all got fixed before the service! This is the same outfit that Maxwell wore for his baptism. You can see all of those pics here and here!
Spencer did great during the service. When Reverend Sharps was holding him Spencer just kept looking up at his face and reaching out to touch his chin. So precious! Maxwell was a little …how shall I say it?… energetic during the service! But, overall he acted just fine and was a cute little 2.5 year old boy.
Here are two videos if you really care to see…
Right after the service, the photographer took a bunch of pics of the boys, me and Robert right outside the church. She then came back to the house and took lots of shots of our whole family together. I’m so excited to have those! After the pictures were done, it was time to eat and play! A big thanks to GJ and Susu for helping with the food.
A few pictures of everyone enjoying the day!
By the time the afternoon was over, we were all happy, full and exhausted! A big thanks to everyone for making the trip to celebrate sweet Spencey!!
It was a great day! and thankfully it was okay that I took a video during church!
Great day, great family and great pics….even if they were a little grainy. Love the one of Maxwell being pushed by Katie. Hillarious.
It was a fun weekend! Thanks for having us. Can’t wait to see those sweet boys again.
