There are few days as a parent that are more special than a baptism day!  Emma has been counting down… ever since last fall she could give you the date of her baptism!  She was very prepared and so excited when the big day finally arrived.  

She was baptized with 3 darling girls from her primary class, and all the baptismal candidates sang "If the Savior Stood Beside Me" as part of the program.  She wore an enormous smile the whole time.

 
Afterwards, family came back to our house to have her treat of choice – homemade oreos, butterfly sugar cookies, and pink lemonade.  (She and I had a good time in the days leading up to the baptism making them together!)

The primary presidency brought her a beautiful white rose, which she loved.  She kept saying, "I can't belive I have a real, actual rose!"  

It was Emma's idea to have everyone who came write their favorite scripture down so that she could mark them in her new scriptures.  She loved having so many special family members there to participate!  

She ended the day by writing in her new journal – having those precious newly baptized children share with you the record of their sacred experience is one of the highlights of my life as a mom.  

It was a very special day for a very special girl!
