Emma's Baptism

As stated below, the family filled the car and drove down to Bridgewater, South Dakota. Matt's grandparents and extended family live in this small town of roughly 500 people. The drive actually took us less time than it does to drive to Monroe, Wisconsin. We left in rainy, stormy weather and arrived in Bridgewater to sunshine and nice weather. However, on Sunday, it was stormy and rainy.
Nevertheless, the baptism went very well. We asked Matt's cousin, Paul, and his wife, Shannon, to be Emma's Godparents. Emma wore an old Baptismal dress, handed down from my dad's side. We are not sure who all has worn it, but it is quite old.
It was great seeing everyone. A special thank you to Matt's grandparents for hosting the after party and taking on so many people at their house.
