Blessing Day

Our sweet Addie girl was given a name and blessing on Sunday March 2nd! We decided that was probably the best day to do it in the next couple months! She was our first child to be blessed in the ward we are actually living in. It was such a special day! She was blessed with two other little babies in our ward, our bishops little boy and another little boy who just moved in. Andrew gave her such a sweet blessing and my mom was nice to write it down for us! In the circle was Andrew, Grandpa Pond, her great uncle Russ, Uncle Brent, Uncle Kyle, my cousins husband Andy, Uncle Matt, Bishop Nelson, and a family friend Jac Chandler. We missed those other family members who couldn't make it! My mom's friend Devon was so nice and took some pictures for before which was so nice of her! I am glad we did them before because it gets crazy after and the kids had been to primary before sacrament meeting so they looked better before! It also gave us more time to get some good ones! After the meeting we gathered back at my parents house for dinner. We did some pulled pork and chicken sandwiches and some BBQ nachos! We had some coleslaw and BBQ baked beans to go with it and some fruit! It was all really good! I had ordered a Corky's cookbook for Andrew for his birthday that we got a few of the recipes out of for the meal and also a case of their BBQ sauce and dry rub for it! It really turned out so good! It was fun to have our families together and was such a great day! Even the weather was nice it was about 60 degrees!

Getting dressed! She isn't a huge fan of getting dressed any day! She wore the same dress Ella wore which was my and my sisters dress as well. I did get her some new shoes and a new bow!




I think this is our first picture as a family of 5! It only took us 5 weeks to get it!






By the time we got to getting just some of her she was done and her 6 week acne was in full force!







Ella helped me take her dress back off so I could feed her one last time before church!




We kept forgetting after to get pictures with other people that were there but got one right before we went home with my mom!

She is so pretty! Cute family pictures. Good idea to take all the pictures before hand because you are right after sacrament things get crazy.
