Sweet Blessings

Today was so special. We blessed Elliot in church. All morning I was so excited as I was getting her ready to go. She looked so cute! All of our family drove down for the occasion. Lane gave the blessing & did a great job. Afterwards everyone headed to our place for refreshments. I wasn't sure if it was possible, but we managed to cram 24 people into our 800 square foot apartment. Good times were had by all. I'm so thankful for my little family & couldn't be happier.

Oh, I wish I was there. I love the last picture of the 3 of you. It is really sweet. I love seeing Lane as a dad. It is still a little weird to think of him as a dad, but I know he is great.

I'm glad you guys were blessing Elliot on Sunday too. Elliot was so pretty in her little dress! Lane did a good job holding her up after the blessing too... I love it when people hold up there babies at the end.
