Emily's Baptism

Emily was baptized on November 17, 2012.  It was a very special day.  She had been looking forward to this day with anticipation for a very long time!  She was baptized and confirmed by her dad.  She shared her baptism day with a little girl from our ward, Chloe.  Afterwards, Emily, Chloe, Kelsie, and Brianna sang "When I am Baptized".  It was very special to see the way they just glowed as they sang the words to that song with such conviction.  It was a really neat day and we are so proud of Emily.  We are grateful for all of our family and dear friends that came to support us on this special day.

We had a fun family gathering at our house afterwards.  Grandpa Durrant brought a special gift from Great Grandma Durrant because she was not well enough to join us.  It is very special to Emily.
After the luncheon we didn't see anymore of Emily, her cousins, and friends.  They went right to her room to play dolls.  That is what Emily loves most!  She loved having all her cousins and her friend Lizzie there at the same time to play dolls with her!

Congratulations!! I can't believe our kids are getting so old. The other day Ariana mentioned how she would be going into YW next year and I about had a heart attack!!

Emily is absolutely beautiful and she is so lucky to have such great parents.

Miss you!
