Hannah's Blessing Day


Hannah's blessing day was wonderful! We shared it with many friends and family. We so appreciated all those who made an effort to come. I love baby blessings. We are reminded that these tiny and completely dependent little bodies house valiant and very capable spirits. Hannah is a special little girl and we are excited to see promises made to her in her blessing come to fruition. We look forward to watching her grow (although we love her littleness right now - and for a while longer)!

Hannah's dress is beautiful! My mom made it - including the smocking!

A few pictures: 1 - Our little family with Mike's parents, one set of grandparents and a niece; 2 - My parents and Hannah; 3 - Four generations with my maternal line; 4 - Abby and her "hair like Clara's [a friend in MI]" that she was so proud of (thanks to Kaley); 5 - Me and my kiddos
A funny story: Right before Mike took her up to be blessed he asked if we should take her afghan as well. It looked so pretty with the dress:) He took the blanket and had her lay on the blanket in the circle. There were at least a dozen brethren that participated in the blessing so no one person had a good "grip" on her. At some point during the blessing she started to slide right off the blanket! Luckily, Tim caught her (by the legs)! Tragedy averted:)
