Emma's Baptism!!!!

Saturday December 6th was a gorgeous looking, sunny looking, but very cold day.

 We got up and shipped the 3 girls that we had been hosting for a competition at the school out the door and then quickly left ourselves.  We arrived at the baptism 10 minutes before the start and Mom didn't even get too upset because she knew they couldn't start without the guest of honor EMMA!!! The Baptismal service was at our friend's home the Butters.  They graciously opened up their home and filled their master bathtub with warm water for us and all our friends in the Branch.

 Emma had asked Sister Butters to give the talk on "Baptism" and Meagan to give the talk on "The Holy Ghost".  Heidi played a musical number on the piano and Eric gave the opening prayer.  Dad performed the baptism and the confirmation.  And mom lead the music and gave the Primary President's message.

 Everyone did a great job on everything.  Then when it was over we had a lunch with BBQ pork sandwiches, chips, salads and fruit.  And 12 dozen cookies.  Emma was absolutely beautiful in her baptism dress that her Grandma Lawson made for her and the day was absolutely perfect!!

Even when dad had to use his knee to get all of Emma's clothes completely immersed!
