Sandwich cake buffet - literally smörgåsbord!

Liam and Elina's christening




We had a great day together with family and friends! The ceremony took place in Kalix Church, built in the 15th century, and the name of the priest was Anders Gustafsson. The holy water was taken from the Kalix river and the "thing" that held the water is about 800 years old. Both Elina and Liam did great, Liam looked very surprised when the priest picked him up and poured water over his head. He just stared at the priest and the water - pretty funny. After the ceremony, we had a party at the cafeteria of my old elementary school. We served "sandwich cakes" and for dessert sweet cakes. We had a lot of fun and Liam was a social butterfly. All in all, it was a perfect day. Well, almost. We missed Jason's family members! Can't wait to see you soon!

Today we went to the Överkalix fair where Liam got to meet his great grandmother Elin. He really liked her! Afterwards we went over to Kicki's sister's house and Liam got to play with Ella, Kicki's niece. That kid looks like a baby supermodel. They had a bunch of fun stuff such as a big trampoline, swings and a miniature house in their backyard.
