Camden's big weekend



On Saturday, Camden went out to the Carlton family reunion (Grandma's side of the family) and was passed from relative to relative. As you can tell, he was thrilled to meet his Great Grandpa Hoyt! The Carltons of course were crazy about him, but not half as nutty as his Grandma and Aunt Laura, who gave him a bath to help out his heat rash before leaving Perry.


On Sunday, Camden was baptised, wearing the Christening gown Grandma lovingly made for him. He looked sweet and adorable, but true to his nature was a little rebel up at the alter. He made spit bubbles, cried and batted the preacher away--He had the whole sanctuary laughing! He got a little more fussy during the rest of the service so Aunt Katie hung out with him and Cousin Jake in the nursery. (Cousin Jake shared his pacy with Camden---isn't he sweet??)


Afterwards the whole crew (Gramps and Nana, Aunt Ash, Uncle Jon, Uncle Sam and Aunt Joani, cousins Maddie and Jake, Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Betsy and Uncle Jason and Aunt Katie) went out the Row, where I used to work, for Sunday brunch. Camden didn't stay in his christening gown that long and as you can see, was happy to get back into a onesie. My old coworkers went crazy over Camden and the food was great. But the best part was having everyone there. We munched on Grandma's boiled peanuts afterwards before everyone left. It was a wonderful weekend and we're tuckered out!
