Emery's Blessing

A few weeks ago we drove up to Northern California to bless Emery. My mom recently had back surgery, not to mention that most of our family lives up there. That made it the most logical place to do it. It was a great weekend. My grandma made Emery's blessing dress and it looked so sweet. It was a very dainty and light dress with a pink ribbon. My Aunt Sharon sent a sweet baby pearl bracelet to wear around her wrist, and a few nights before I made a pink crystal bracelet. This girl was as primped as you can get for a two month old:) I even had little silver shoes for her.

I felt so loved from the support shown by our family. We had so many people attend church with us, including my Uncle John, Grandma Janet, Mom and Randy. Meme flew out from Utah, Brandon's parents drove from Chico, Shae and Daren from Green Valley, my dad and family drove from Fairfield, Karlie was at our house bright and early, and Kristen came from San Luis Obispo. I felt loved and I am glad to be able to someday tell Emery about how many people love her and what a great family she comes from. It is support like this that help shape who she is and can add to a quiet confidence of knowing that she is loved.

Brandon's prayer for Emery included some wonderful blessings, including a sweet and happy disposition. I love this girl so much and think that she has already made our family happier. She is a happy and smily baby.

My awesome family! Seriously!!

After the blessing we had lunch all together.

This was her post blessing outfit (so we didn't ruin her white dress).
