David Beckham takes kids to Lapland UK after star-studded baptism service

David Beckham treated his children to a fun-filled trip to Lapland UK, following the recent baptism of Cruz, 14 and Harper, eight.

The former footballer took his kids - including Brooklyn, 20, and Romeo, 17 - to the festive wonderland on Sunday after the celebrations.

David, 44, was seen getting into the Christmas spirit as he donned a Santa hat and larked around with the elves.

The family then got to meet the big man himself as Santa Claus posed for pictures with them and his 'Good List'.

As the day drew on, the Beckhams were also seen skating in front of giant tree at the Christmas-themed park.

David flooded his Instagram with cute pictures of the family day out - which mum Victoria, 45, appeared to sadly miss out on.

The Spice Girl did however update her social media with snaps of her children alongside their 'wonderful' godparents over the weekend.

The Beckhams youngest children Harper and Cruz were baptised at the Holy Trinity Church in Chipping Norton on Saturday.

Celebs in attendance included Eva Longoria, Guy Ritchie, Phil Neville , Marc Anthony and sports agent David Gardner.

After the ceremony their guests headed to Soho Farmhouse where David and Victoria were spotted making a rare public display of affection.

The married couple looked smitten as they were seen on the dancefloor cuddling.

After the party, Victoria wrote on Instagram: "Proudest of days today watching Harper and Cruz being baptized in front of our friends and family.

"So much to be grateful for x With love, VB x I love u @davidbeckham."

However, reports of a family feud may have put a downer on the occasion.

Victoria was said to have fallen out with David’s dad Ted, 71, after his partner's daughter Charlotte, 27, was reportedly snubbed from the guest list.

The Sun reported Ted, who is divorced from David's mother Sandra, was invited with his new partner, 60-year-old millionaire and solicitor Hilary Meredith, but her daughter Charlotte wasn't.

The source said: “Charlotte believes they are a family and should be invited as a unit, in the end Ted asked David if they could bring her.

“He said he’d speak to Victoria, but he came back and said sorry they couldn’t fit one more in.

The bottom line is Victoria’s mistrust of any outsiders being brought into the fold."

The source added all staff working at the event have had to sign non-disclosure agreements.
