Blessing Day

Yesterday Princess was given a name and a blessing by her father at church. A lot of our family and friends came for the occasion. Coach's blessing was just beautiful. I wrote like mad trying to get as much of it as possible another woman in our ward also took notes and gave them to me. Between the two, I plan on typing the blessing and putting it in her baby book. It was a very special day for our family. After the blessing Coach had a lion king moment and held Princess up just like the baboon holds Simba up for the congregation. It was pretty cute and funny. He is such a proud Papa.

My Niece E. who is only 18 months younger than me came down with her family and stayed over Saturday night to Sunday. Her son is only 8 days younger than Starboy


Her daughter is 18mths older than Princess.


She has another son that turns 4 this coming Saturday. We have always been very close, so it is very fun for us to have children that are close.

She helped me get Princess into her blessing dress before sacrament meeting. The dress was to big to fit into the car seat, so we had to change her at the church. It worked out just fine.

After Sacrament meeting our families came back to the house for a small luncheon. My sister's were wonderful and brought many different salads and sandwiches to help feed everyone. Princess looked like an angel in her beautiful blessing dress. She was very well tempered even when she was being passed around to so many different people during the luncheon. Everyone was amazed at how big she is for only 9 weeks. She is very healthy and has beautiful big cheeks.

Everyone admired the photo collage I had created of the wedding dress-blessing dress. We displayed it in the front entry for the occasion.



Grandma H. and Great Grandma L. were there. I was happy to get pictures of Princess with them and even with her Cousin E. Who is only 4 months older. It really turned out to be the most beautiful day. The sun was shining so that people could eat outside. The children were able to be outside also so that adults could visit inside. There were so many people that we cared about there. I am so grateful for such a supportive loving family on both sides. Our children are blessed to have such wonderful Aunts, Uncles, and cousins.
