Sweet Little Girl

Ellery was blessed on Sunday. Brian gave her a really sweet blessing. I just have to say that I'm glad I'm not the one up there giving a blessing. I was nervous enough already just knowing he had to do it, I can't imagine if I had to. But he did great, and my prayers were answered because Elle just looked up at him wide eyed and quiet during the whole thing. I always worry that my kids will cry during their blessings. I remember when McKay was blessed I was so paranoid that he would scream during the whole thing (that wasn't unusual for him) and he just pooped instead which kept him busy, and quiet, during his blessing. I didn't even care, I was just so glad that he was good.

We had a really nice lunch at Brian's parent's house. Everyone in both our families was able to be there which was fun. I didn't want to bother making anything fancy, so I bought a couple trays of those turkey wraps from Costco. So yummy...but we had about a whole tray leftover. I don't know how I miscounted so huge, but we were able to send everyone home with a plate wraps, so I guess it worked out.

We just love our little Ellery so much and I already can't imagine life without her. I have been hugely blessed with a really good baby. I am amazed at how easy she is. She is so adaptable to anything we're doing and just goes right along with it. She's such a sweet little thing, always happy and smiling...well, almost always. Plus, I think she's pretty cute too. Here are a few pics of the day.

All dressed up, ready to go!


The sweet little booties Grandma made. So precious!


Family picture. Lucky to get a half decent smile out of McKay.

Our little pioneer baby. I didn't realize her dress was so...what's the word?...pioneerish? Oh well, still adorable!
