As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints we give our babies a blessing when they are infants. We dressed Hallie up like a little princess and Ben gave her a beautiful blessing. He blessed Hallie with health, honesty and a love for all people, among other things. We were able to invite our friends and family out in the DC area and we had a great turn out. We are so grateful to be surrounded be such good people who support us. What was really neat for me was that I got to see some of my friends from my mission who I hadn’t seen in a year and a half. It was Fabulous!! Thanks again every one for coming!

My parents splurged and bought plane tickets so that they could be there when their first grand baby was blessed and I’m so glad they did! They flew in on Friday and we blessed Hallie that Sunday. It was a quick trip but they needed to get back for my brother’s wedding. (I will post pictures of their trip later.) My mom was a huge help when it came to the luncheon that we had after the blessing. She throws such great parties!! Thanks again Mom!!

All and all it was a wonderful day. Hallie looked beautiful and Ben and I were overwhelmed at how much we love our little girl and how much the Lord loves her too. We are grateful she is our daughter and can’t imagine life without her.

Here are some pictures of Hallie in her dress.
