Aaron's 35th Birthday

 We celebrated Aaron's birthday Sunday evening as a family. Aaron was late getting home from church. We started dinner without him. Alison asked me, "Is Daddy going to come to his own birthday party?" He showed up a few minutes later. We had a great little party.

 Since Aaron's birthday was on mutual night, I decided to work out a little surprise party with the youth. I ordered a huge sheet cake to share. We didn't pull off the surprise perfectly. Aaron went in for an interview before we could surprise him, then he walked into the room without us realizing he was there. He was excited though.

The best was the awesome Bishop Lovell pinata my friend helped me make. We turned a red power ranger into the coolest Bishop ever. The kids had  such a great time cracking him open. It was a clean leg removal, so I hear the pinata has been safely tucked away to come out again at Girl's Camp for some more fun.

Mustache Mayhem

 A little too real looking. Glad he doesn't like mustaches.

 One of the girls picked out a stick on mustache at the dentist's office for a 'No Cavity' prize. We had some good laughs when everyone took turns trying on the mustache.

Emmy's Baptism

 Emmy was baptized on January 5th, 2013 by her father Aaron Lovell. It was a very special day for our family. I made her baptism dress, and she looked so beautiful.

 The entire Lovell family was together for this special event. I feel so lucky that we could all be together.

 Lovell girl cousins. Will didn't want to have his picture taken.

 My parents and brother were able to be with us also for the baptism.

It was a very special day for Aaron and Emmy.

 Grandma made Emmy a special white box to keep her special things inside. I made Caroline a white dress to match Emmy.

We are so proud of Emmy for being such a good girl and a great example.
