Great to be 8!!!

October 22, was Emily's 8th birthday! Emily reading her birthday card from Grandpa and Grandma Daugherty.

Halloween Barbie...she really does like it! ;)

This is a doll that Emily has wanted for over a year.

I love Emily's reaction to her new bike! Priceless!!!

Kylie showing off the difference in size of Emily's old bike and her new one. Yep she needed one!

Happy Birthday Emily!!! We love you!

On November 5th, Emily was baptized!!! I loved her baptism dress!!!

This was a HUGE decision for her to make, and she thought about it long and hard all summer! She was back and forth whether she wanted to wait til she was a year or two older, to thinking that she needed to wear her goggles to keep the water out of her eyes! At the end, she CHOSE to be baptized at 8yrs old, and not wear goggles. I am sooo proud of her and her decision! :)

Emily asked her dad to baptize and confirm her. She was all smiles all day long!

Bishop Barber was there to conduct our ward's baptism. We love our Bishop!

After the baptism and confirmation, we had a luncheon at our church. We have so many family and friends that came and supported Emily on her wonderful day! We are blessed!

Rylie is Emily's little friend next door, and Rylie's mom is my awesome friend next door! She made Emily a cute scripture bag which Emily just loves!!! Thanx Mylinda! ;)


Mylinda also wrote this on the chalkboard in the room where we had our luncheon! So cute! Congrats to my little teeny tiny on her special day! We love you so much Emily and are so proud of you! :)
