Sofie's Christening

At 10:30 am, May 17, 2009 Sofie was christened at Nim Church.

Usually babies are christened before the age of 6 months but Sofie was actually 9 months old at her christening so we were concerned that we wouldn't find a dress for her. But luckily this didn't prove to be a problem and in this photo Sofie models her dress.














A close-up of the little princess.




















The christening (no tears from Sofie at all!).
Unfortunately these two photos are not in focus, no flashes were permitted during the service.

...... and after the christening we were permitted to take group photos inside the church.

The proud parents with Sofie.





















....... with grandma and granddad.














Finally with two of Sofie's 'faddere'.













Sofie with her relieved (& proud) father outside the church. Sofie actually kept quiet and still throughout the whole 1 hour service.




















....... with Uncle Ole who is keeping her warm.














Traditionally babies sleep their first sleep after the christening in their dress. BUT Sofie wanted to check out all her presents first!!


















.......... and she was very impressed.




















The reception was held at Brædstrup kro.

The table decorations in pink and white.






















The Danish side of Sofie's family.

After her nap and a change of clothes Sofie was keen to open all her presents. Below are a just few photos of the many wonderful presents she received.


... checking out her new shoes and lego blocks.














.... a great drawing made by her cousin Oliver.














Cutlery from Australia & the blue dog was hand made by her cousin Daniel.
