Baptismal Celebration

On Saturday, April 2nd my niece's son was baptized. On Sunday my brother's family hosted a reception at their ranch not too far from the city where the baby was baptized. This celebration was very casual, very laid back. A few ladies prepared pre-dinner trays of veggies and fruit. A couple of men started up the charcoal and barbequed chicken and steak as seasoned beans and rice heated up on the stove. When all the food was ready, about 30 guests sat down to enjoy the delicious food and great company. Later, everyone gathered around the two cakes. As it was my nieces' birthday, one of the cakes was for her and the other was in celebration of the baptism. Two cakes: you can't get much better than that!  All sang happy birthday to her and she blew out the candles. The group enjoyed cake and ice cream while chatting with each other. The weather was absolutely gorgeous that day. The party couldn't have gone any better if I had planned it myself! To my sister-in-law and niece: great job you two!
