A Name and a Blessing

We planned to bless M when all my sisters came to visit for Thanksgiving, but if you know my family, you will understand how hard it is to accomplish anything when they are around.  We were so crazy busy making dinner, carousing a ton of children and traveling to and from my apartment, the church and the hotel all weekend, that we just never got around to blessing the baby. I'm partly to blame that I wasn't more proactive in planning, but I was still extremely sleep deprived and crazied from constant breast feeding at that time (she ate constantly at that age, sometimes every hour)

Anyway, when Brody and I decided to go to Utah for spring break, we planned to just bless her there, when all of his family could be in attendance.  This also gave my mom time to make M a beautiful dress.  All of Brody's family came, including cousins and aunts and uncles.  We had a small luncheon and his Dad's house afterwards.  The blessing was heartfelt and beautiful.  We have so many hopes and dreams for our special baby.  That day reminded me of how lucky we are to be sealed to one another.  We are so blessed to have her in our lives and we have so much love for her!

Here are pictures of the special day...
