On the Sunday after Christmas, the Nisewaner family and Stokstad family headed to Ocean Beach in San Francisco to baptize baby Elsa.

It was a perfect day. Elsa was a well behaved and happy baby the whole time. Erik (Arne's brother) and Amanda (Karna's sister) became godparents for Elsa.
Grandma Julie performed the baptism with water from Lake Michigan. Elsa's cousins Erika and Sonja were also baptized by Julie, on the beach at Lake Michigan.
After the baptism, we took a walk along the beach and grandpa took lots of pictures. We did manage to get one of him with Elsa.
The grandmas were happy.
And we got a shot of 3 generations of Nisewaners.
We ended the morning by having a lovely brunch at the historic Beach Chalet at the west end of Golden Gate Park.
It was a great day to celebrate baby Elsa.
