After Christmas our Texas cousins came up to visit! We were able to have a lot of our Gardner family come here to Lehi to meet up with them, play games and visit!
The cousins all had such a great time together! We LOVE our Texas cousins and miss them so much! They are growing up too fast! My kids look up to their older cousins sooo much! It was also fun to see a Wyoming cousin and our Heber cousins that we now have to call Rexburg cousins! :)
The adults had fun playing games and visiting!
Some took in a little nap too! :)
The next day most of us went on up to Kemmerer, WY for Emily and her cousin Seth's baptism! With Utah and Idaho baptisms only being on one day a month we were having a hard time figuring out how to have Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles be in 2 different states at the same time. It worked out really good for both of our families to just have the baptism at Grandma and Grandpa's ward in Kemmerer. It was fun for Emily and Seth to share this special day together! We were so glad to have so much family there for a luncheon before and then a very sweet meeting to follow.
Emily sure looked angelic in the same dress that her mom, aunts, cousins and sisters have been baptized in. We are thankful for the priesthood that her daddy holds in order for this ordinance to be performed. The spirit is always so strong when watching these 8 year olds make this decision and go into the water and come out cold and wet, but so clean, happy and peaceful! It truly was the perfect ending to a wonderful 2012! We have been so blessed to love, serve, have a baby, a baptism, compete, perform, work, play! Everything! Happy 2012 and now on to 2013!! :)
