BAPTISM!
What an exciting day for us to have Emma, Erik and Ellie baptized. They met with our Pastor last week, and were all ready for this morning. We had some good friends come for the service, as well as my Mom and Stepfather, and my 97-year-old Grannie. Grannie has been waiting and waiting to see the kids get baptized and actually left her house to witness it. She is basically housebound, so we knew how serious witnessing the kids' baptism was to her. The water in the baptistry was up to Ellie's shoulders. She's standing on a cinder block!
I think Emma was happy to be in the warm water and out of the cold hallway.

Erik actually went first, but the pictures loaded in reverse order.
