What a blessing!

Normally it is just Danny, Jane, and I in our house and it stays pretty quite (except for an occasional screaming session from Jane). However, this past Sunday we had 40 + friends and family over to participate in our Jane's baby blessing and celebrate with a big lunch. It was the first time that we have had that big of a group in our house, and I can honestly say that it now officially feels like a "home." We are so lucy to have such wonderful friends and family who love and support us!

There is nothing like a warm bubble bath to get ready for a big event!
When we first put Jane in her blessing dress, I couldn't help but cry. She really did look like a little angel. I wonder if there were any angels with us on this amazing day. I couldn't help but think of my Grandma Gwen and wonder if she was with us.

Happy little family!

My dad had this great idea to take a picture of all of the men that helped to bless Janey. This picture will always be precious! I am so grateful to be associated with such incredibly valiant priesthood holders!

This is Great Grandam Mary JANE!

I love my Chelsea! Thanks for coming!


More friends, family, and FOOD!




This is one proud mommy and daddy!

The highlight of the day for the kids is when Uncle Danny took them up in his boom. There were some very scared mothers, but thrilled children!

Danny couldn't resist taking his best friend Taylor up the entire 50 feet. They were so cute together! :)



I love days like this! Thanks everyone for coming! I love you all!

Thanks for inviting us, Annie. Blessings are a big deal, but moms have to pay a hefty price to host so many people at their homes. You did a great job - we loved it.
