Emma's Baptism

Emma Kathryn was baptized on Sunday, January 10. It was a beautiful service, made even more special by the fact that we were surrounded by so many of our family and dear friends. We were excited that mass that Sunday was centered on the scriptures concerning the baptism of Jesus...we didn't know that when we picked the date...seemed to make the day truly perfect.
I am making a slideshow of all the pics from church and our celebration, but wanted to also just post the photos that captured the spirit of the day. **Special note of thanks to Amber...who was informed the morning of the baptism that she would be the photographer for the event! She did awesome! :)

Introducing Emma to the church with the Godparents. note:my brother is the actual Godfather! Due to the weather, he couldn't make it. Kelly did a great job as the sub! Kiss from big brother

Emma didn't even cry...
