A Very Special Day

We had such a great day last Saturday. Emily was baptized and confirmed by Blake! We had lots of family and friends with us to celebrate. We wish you all could have come, but understand it wasn't possible. Here she is in the beautiful white dress we bought for her. You can't see, but it has a few butterflies on it, which is something Emily loves.

Emily had this big smile on her face the whole day! She wanted me to tell you what happened when she was getting confirmed. As soon as Blake started, she smiled really big and started crying. She says she really felt the holy spirit.

I love you Emily, and I'm proud of your decision to be baptized! Thanks for being a good example.

The kids. We were kind of slacking on the pictures and didn't get one with our family together. We'll have to do that one of these days after church.

We also didn't get a big group picture, so we need everyone to come back to we can do that ;). Here is a picture that gets some of the people in our group. We had over 30 family and friends that came to the baptism. It was so nice to share the special day with all of you!

My friend Kym was nice enough to offer her house for a BBQ following the baptism. It turned out so nice. This is how I spent the afternoon.

I couldn't help with anything, which was hard, but I was definitely comfortable, and catered to. I guess there are some benefits to having a broken foot, although I would not recommend it.

Here is a video that shows Emily's very funny personality. She can make one of her eyes go cross-eyed, while the other one looks straight, but not while she's laughing. It's pretty entertaining. We love you Emily! Thanks for making our lives so fun.
