Blessing Day


Today we blessed Ella. It went really great. Ella's Great Grandpa Peterson blessed her. It was very special! She cried the whole first of sacrament I thought for sure she was going to cry right through it. My brother was in charge of the soothie he said he was holding it in her mouth pretty hard, but it worked and she was silent the entire time. Thanks Kev! My grandpa's blessing was very beautiful and special. We tried to write it down while he was saying it but we were all crying and he was talking fast that we did not get it. My mom and step dad both had pda recording it So hopefully they picked it up. Lets cross our fingers.

We would like to Thank our family and friends for the support in coming and helping with bringing food or after. I also need to Thanks Drews parents They donated 17lbs of ground beef for the sloppy joes.
Also michelle, kevin, Jess, Grandma deb for helping cook the meat and rice crispies.

Thanks to chase, Michelle and Jason for sneaking out early and getting tables and food ready.

We love everyone so much and are glad we have so much family support. I think we counted 74 people that were there

THANK YOU EVERYONE.

Enjoy some beautiful blessing dress pictures of Ella
