This past weekend we loaded up and went to Odessa to get the twins Christened at my old church. For those of you who don't know, I spent most of my childhood in Odessa and my entire side of the family still lives there. Tatum and Tanner got to meet many new family members!!
This is my dad's sister Donna. Her son was also Christened at the same church with the same pastor. 
This is my dad's mom with Tanner. She hosted the party for the babies at her home.
The night before the Christening we went and ate at my favorite restaurant with my mom's side of the family. Here are all four generations!!!
This is my old church, Risen Lord Lutheran Church. My parents, aunts and cousins were all married here. I, along with a lot of my cousins were Christened here. 
This is Pastor Otterness. This wonderful man is the same Pastor that performed all of the wedding ceremonies for my parents and family. He also Christened my dad, me and now the twins. It was an amazing experience and such an honor to have Pastor O do the ceremony.

Here is Tatum as we call it "getting sprinkled".
And now it's Tanners turn. I have to tell you, it was soooo beautiful because Tanner was just smiling up at me and Pastor O the entire time.
Here are the three generations christened by Pastor O.
Proud Parents!
I bought Tatum this special bonnet, it turns into a handkerchief that she can carry with her on her wedding day as I did with mine!!
The pictures don't give justice for how cute Tanner man looked. He was wearing a little silk suit!
Donna, Derek, and their sons Tyler and Mason. Missing from the picture was my stud little cousin who was at his baseball game out of town.
