Our grandson Grant Jay Lashmet was baptized on Christmas Eve at Epiphany Episcopal Church in Odenton, Maryland by the priest Phebe McPherson.
 |
| Grant's parents, grandparents, and godparents gathered for his baptism into the Episcopal church. |
 |
| Being the center of all this attention can be intimidating for a five year old. |
 |
| Grant gets a good Episcopal sprinkling. |
 |
| There is a birthday cake for the baby Jesus. Grant blows out the candle and we all sing Happy Birthday. |
 |
| After the service all the kids decorate gingerbread houses. It was a real celebration. |
 |
| Grant was the star of tonight's show. |
 |
| Here is his lovely sister Autumn. |
Sue and I drove from Tulsa to Eastern Maryland to visit with her son and his family, but the highlight was to attend Grant's baptism.
