Blessing Day

Today was the special day that Brylee received her baby blessing. She sported an all white dress made out of my left-over wedding dress materials, which was also worn by her 3 older sisters. Considering that, I think its held up pretty well, except for one button that came off the back. Im glad it got its use! We were proud of Brylee for making it through the blessing without crying or spitting up on her dress (until it was over)! Some of the things she was blessed with included:
  • a knowledge that her Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ loves her.
  • to make righteous choices, including getting baptized and married in the Temple.
  • to be worthy of the companionship of the Holy Ghost.
  • to learn wisdom in her youth, and abound in good works and faith to overcome challenges and trials.
  • To view life with optimism and bring joy to others.
  • love and support from her family

Ryan always does such a great job, and we are grateful that he holds his priesthood worthily, and uses it to bless our family. Here she is with us all, except Zack who kept running out of the pictures!

Brylee looks beautiful. I think that's pretty cool all the girls have wore the same gown. Did you make the dress?

That is very lovely blessing Ryan gave her.

Today has been a very special day.

Hey- I feel so bad that we missed it! I didn't realize that it was today and I hardly got any sleep last night. Then Abi woke up early like she used to and I was laying on the beanbag with her watching a movie and when I stood up to go get ready for church (assuming it was around 7) it was already 830. I ran up to wake up Doug which is when he told me it was today. We figured that by the time all 3 of us got dressed and to church it would be over with already.
She looks beautiful. I love that you had her dress made out of the wedding dress. That is a great idea.
