(CBS) - Eddy and Nelson, 4-month-old twin sons of Celine Dion and husband Rene Angelil , were baptized  in Las Vegas Saturday.

"It was a beautiful, traditional family ceremony," Dion's rep said.

The twins' older brother, Rene-Charles, 10, served as a godparent, along with Dion's sister Linda and Angelil's three children, Patrick, Jean-Pierre and Anne-Marie Angelil.

A private reception was held at Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino after the baptism.

Dion, who launches her new Las Vegas show March 15, gave birth to the boys last October in West Palm Beach, Fla.
