Baptism and a Birthday

Our little angel was baptised on her Daddy's birthday with a lot of family and close friends to cheer her on. I felt like I needed to pull out the old wedding picture schedule afterward to organize all the pics. =)

Team Emmy

To make it even more special Emmy wore my and Laura's baptism gown, a necklace from her GiGi, a bib from Nana (her Great-Grandmother) and was wrapped in a blanket that MeMaw (her Great-Great-Grandmother) made. Four generations of women were watching over her. =) She was so good during the ceremony and even just took a nap during the rest of church. No crying at all!

Emmy's Godparents Betsy and Collin

We followed the ceremony with a birthday/baptism party at Lupe's with more fajitas and enchiladas than anyone wants to ever eat. Blake and I have about three pounds of each left, so if anyone wants leftover Mexican, head on over! Emmy was SO worn out from all the partying that she came home and immediately took a three hour nap. This is officially the longest nap she's ever taken. Mom and dad took a nice one too...Blake IS getting pretty old. He needs his sleep =)


And now, the pics...

There were kids everywhere! Benjamin, Emmy, Caroline, Abby, Hannah, Ellie, and Brandon

We HAVE to take these for the wedding slideshow =)

Not bad for five kids ;)

We are so blessed to have so many people love our little girl and support her as she grows into a strong woman of faith. Thanks to everyone who came!
