Baptism Day

 We had such a wonderful baptism for Emma on April 10, which is also her birthday!
Dad and Emma put on their jumpsuits and we were ready for a baptism!  Emma and Dad did a great job.  Emma was really excited for her baptism and she definitely knew that it was her special day.

Our baptism actually ended up being a double baptism due to a scheduling error but we figured, the more the merrier and were so happy to share with another family the ordinance of baptism.  (I wish I had a picture of Emma and the other little girl, Hannah Otteson)

Rob did a great job with the confirmation.  We cried like babies for the difference in Emma's blessing and Hannah's blessing and we cried for the progress and growth we have seen in Emma.

After the baptism, we headed home for dinner and a celebration.

We had lots of friends and family

Emma's teachers, "Harris" and Carol came.  Emma was just over the moon about having these two amazing women at her house!
(sorry, Harris, it was the only pic we have!)

Great Grandparents came from Cedar City, Utah


Great Aunts!!

And cousins with cake!

We were so glad that Madeline could come to Vegas on her spring break.


Happy Day!
(I love that Emma can make her eyes do this!)

What an amazing group of people to surround our sweet Emma with love!
You.  are.  LOVED!
