Baptism - September 14, 2008

Alexander Wallace Hazen was baptized into the Roman Catholic faith at Immaculate Conception Church in Monrovia, CA on September 14, 2008. Xander joined his cousin Cairo Raine Dedini for the occasion as both received their first sacrament. We were honored to have Jamie Jon Biggle (Heather's cousin) and his girlfriend and longtime family friend Carri Marie Musser as the Godparents to both Xander and Cairo. Xander was asleep for the entire service. He wore the baptism gown originally worn by his great-grandfather (Bob Steis) and also worn by his grandmother (Diane), mother (Heather), Aunt (Kim), and Uncle (Danny). He is the 4th generation to wear the baptismal gown. Here are some pictures from the event.


All Cairo needs is a camera pointed in her general direction and the Cheese face is in effect.
