Emma's Big Day!!!!!

This past Saturday was Emma's baptism day!!! I had been planning this event for a couple of months and I was sooooo anxious for everyone to come and see my little angel have her special moment.

The ceremony was wonderful and very meaningful for both Jimmy and I. It also is such a special feeling when you became husband and wife is now where your baby has her baptism. I also felt so blessed to have all our friends and family there.

ALL my friends came and supported Emma! I can not express how much my emotions take over when I see her with my friends. They are such a BIG part of my life and now are a part of Emma's!!! They will for sure be her aunts and uncles.

I also am very fortunate to have a friend be a photographer!!! My bestie Kelly's brother in law is soooo amazing and took my pictures!!! IT was such a relief knowing he was doing it. He has such an eye for beautiful pictures that I KNEW they would be exactly what I wanted.

Everyone had a great time at the luncheon afterwards too. I wanted it to be very casual and let everyone hang out and talk. I wanted lots of pink decorations ( which is totally not like me) and lots of fun cute flowers scattered all over.

Emma changed into her party dress after her baptism. IT WAS THE MOST FUN DRESS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!! She was a perfect doll all afternoon!

Then later that night my friends Kelly, Teresa, Devon, and Monica came over with Their husbands that happen to be Jimmy's friends too! I absolutely LOVE having all my friends get along. Its so nice to remain friends after college. The girls and I try very hard to remain in each others lives and know that we are truly special to each other and want to be there for each other no matter what!

The next day we went to church and Emma took communion and everyone at church loved seeing her be soo happy!!!

It was a very long weekend, but I am sooooo blessed to have shared it with all the people that I love so very much. I am a mom now and having everyone see my joy of being a mom makes me feel like I am so very lucky.


This was my baptism gown and now its Emma's! My mom monogramed my b'day and baptism date on one side and then on the other Emma's!
