Happy Birthday Emilia!

Emilia turned 8 this weekend! I can't believe I have a kid this old! She was so excited all week that her birthday was coming up. She checked the mail every day to see if anyone had sent her a card. It was special for her to be able to celebrate her birthday with Grandpa Anderson this year since they share a birthday.

(Remember melty baby? The camera was doing the same thing here but just pink and not so melty. Maybe it's time for a new camera??)


She was lucky enough to get baptized on her birthday. There is a lady in our ward who has a special white dress that she lends out to girls in the ward who are getting baptized if they want to borrow it, but Emilia decided that she preferred to wear the white jumpsuit. She was afraid that the dress would stick out of the water. She was a little nervous at first, but after it was all said and done she thought it was fun.

We had a fun weekend with both sets of parents/grandparents. I wish we would have gotten more pictures at the baptism, but there were tons of people everywhere and I just wanted to get out of there. We did take more pics at home with the fam and grandparents though.

I'm glad the baptism day was a good one! The pictures are darling, she looks so cute! What a beautiful EIGHT year old daughter you have. Does that make you old? ;)

Lisa, I knew you had four kids pretty close in age but four kids 8 and under! You are one busy girl. Congratulations on your big weekend. What a special time.
