Peder's Baptism

Peder was baptized on Sunday, January 15, 2006, at Community United Methodist Church in Monticello. He hammed it up for the crowd and just looked at Pastor Dan when he was baptized. After his baptism he danced to the choir singing and the hymns. Afterwards, he promptly fell asleep. Melissa's sister Chanda and Jake's brother Nathan served as godparents/
sponsors.

After church we headed out to Grandpa and Grandma Pederson's for a brunch of ham, cheesy potatoes, broccoli salad, buns and cake. It was a delicious meal and we had all kinds of friends and family over for the celebration. I think my mom and sister counted 37 people.....that's craziness. We are very lucky to be loved by so many people.
