Hannah's Blessing

This past Sunday we were able to bless Hannah in church. All of my family, except my brother Paul, were able to make it to the blessing. Justin and his family drove 11 hours with 2 children under 5 years old. Luckily the kids were amazing travelers (the only time they cried was when their daddy took the wrong entrance and started heading back toward California :-) Jake's family also drove in from Idaho. We are so thankful for our wonderful family who went out of there way to be there for our daughter. It was a beautiful blessing and we got so many comments on how beautiful Hannah is and how gorgeous her dress was (Thanks Mimi!). And Hannah didn't make a peep during her blessing! While we were getting her all dressed up she was crying and I kept hoping she would calm down for the blessing. And she did. Apparently she let out a big smile when the men started bouncing her. What a beautiful day it was. We loved spending time with family who we normally just see on Holiday's.

Here are some pictures from her Blessing Day. She was happy and content the whole time, just not when we brought out the camera.

Beautiful dress. Daphne cried for all of her baby blessing pictures, too, so I didn't get a good one. I put the dress back on her a week or two later and got some cute pictures. You should try that, because Hannah's smile is beautiful.

I'm glad it was such a special day! Hannah does look beautiful. Guess what . . . Ashlyn's blessing dress looks exactly like that one (it is one of the prettiest I've ever seen)!
