Baptism day!

Emily was baptized yesterday, and it turned out to be a really nice day. We were lucky enough to have my dad and step-mom and their twins as well as Joseph's mom and her husband all come to visit for the event.
Before the baptism.
Another one before the baptism.
Snacks afterward.
Looking at these pictures I'm realizing now we should have set up a few chairs for this...
The kids didn't seem to mind though.

 And a few pictures at the very end:
Elinor and her good friend Mckay.
Em and her good friend Jacob (he was in her second-grade class and said the opening prayer at the baptism).

My dad and Crystal back left with their twins Matthew and Sydnee in front of them. Matt's cast says: "It broke while I was doing a ninja dive roll over a jump rope."
It was a great day, and we felt very blessed to have so many friends and family in attendance. Congratulations, Emi!

Congrats! It's such a big step in life having a kid get baptized, for them and for the parents. I felt the same when Ben first went into Primary as a 3 year old. We sure do miss your wonderful family! If only Maine and California weren't so far from each other!
