Well I am back and I have so much to post but thought I would start with the blessing.
We blessed Blakely and my neice Amelia in my sister Bekah's ward and followed it up with a giant party at her house. It was quite the event with three families all together but was such a wonderful time. Hank gave Blakely the most beautiful blessing and I had so many wonderful friends and family come to support us.
For the actual blessing Blakely wore a dress that has been worn by every girl in my family starting with my mom and my aunts, down through my cousins and sisters, and now the grandaughters. It is well worn and still beautiful, despite the fact that Blakely likes to throw up on everything she made it through with a clean dress.
After the blessing we changed her into the most beautiful dress that my mother in law knitted for her. She looked gorgeous and was a perfect angel for her special day.
I loved blessing the two girls together and I am sure they will love to hear about it when they are older and best buddies!
