It's Her Big Day

Claire and cousin Max share the honors.

Claire was baptized on Sunday October 7th along with her cousin Max.  It was a splendid sunny autumn day just perfect for a christening celebration.  She was the princess for a day, dressed in the same white gown and cap worn by all of her cousins and aunties in the Hansen family for their baptisms for two generations.  She loved being all dressed up and even though she was not feeling very well, she put on her best appearance for the day.  She and Max were baptized with water from the Jordan River where Jesus was baptized.  Then she was formally presented to everyone in her church family.  She was very poised and lovely for the entire affair.  Afterward, she attended a lavish reception in her honor. What a day! And what a girl!
