Alice's Blessing

Alice was blessed on this last Sunday! She did so wonderful and was quiet the entire time. She looked so cute in her blessing dress and I don't think she spit up on it once! Lots of family came and we (along with another baby's family) filled up the chapel nearly to capacity. Nearly to capacity means the 2nd overflow wasn't *quite* all the way full. All the men filed up to the front of the chapel and barely fit into a circle around our little Alice. Her daddy gave her a wonderful blessing and now she's officially on the roll at church.

I really appreciated getting to sit and listen to the testimonies being born on Sunday. Abby and Sophie didn't really want to have much to do with their parents once they saw their fun grandparents and cousins. I even got to hand Alice off to her Grandma - so I was childless for a few peaceful minutes!

We're lucky to have three beautiful and healthy daughters in our family and I am SO grateful to be sealed to them for eternity. I love my family and I'm glad that we can be together forever.


I attempted to take some pictures of the girls together. The attempt didn't last long, so the pictures didn't turn out that well. I also need someone to remind me to NOT take pictures in front of the window. They turned out pretty badly. I'm also hoping my mom has a good picture of Tom and I with Alice on their camera. We'll see!

(I got this picture from my mom and thought I'd add it to my post.)

In front of the window provides some beautiful natural lighting ... don't forget that! Beautiful baby! Beautiful girls! Thanks for sharing your day with us (via blog); wish we could have been there!
