Blessing Day

Sunday was such a great day! Our little baby girl was blessed and we had such a wonderful time with our families. Grace was fussing quite a bit before the blessing but as soon as Nathan started talking, she quieted down and just stared at Grandpa McBride. Grace looked beautiful all decked out in her dress. For those who didn't know, that dress was the same dress that I was blessed in, with a face lift. Thanks again mom for the help with that!

We had some good eats at our house after and loved just being with everybody. I have to say that we have such good family. We wish those far away could have been here too. We love you guys!

I wish I would have taken pictures of Grace with her brothers, but as soon as we got in the door they quickly changed into shorts and as you can see from the last picture, Adam and cousin Ben had fun dressing up in who knows what!

I'm so happy you were able to add sweet little Gracie to your family, and to have such a wonderful blessing day. I'm sure Grandpa McBride had something funny to say after he realized it was his face that kept her calm. We love your family.

She looks beautiful! It's really good that Grandpa McBride calmed her down, because he had the opposite effect on me when I was little. (My mom says that I was scared of him.)
I think it was the facial hair because I was scared of Santa Claus too :)

Beautiful girl. That hair is awesome. I can see both Kanon and Joseph in her now. I'm so excited to see her in December. Keep the pictures coming, because she's going to change a whole lot before then. Sigh.

I am so glad I got to meet her at the reunion, and see the rest of your family, too! I hope the next time we come to Utah, we have more time to see you. It would be fun to have lunch with you or something and really catch up. Congratulations again on the arrival of beautiful Gracie to your family, and on the wonderful blessing day you enjoyed with your family!
