Lucy's Blessing



We blessed Lucy last Sunday (Aug.4) in our ward. It was a lot of fun to have so many friends and family come to church with us and then to have lunch afterward. Lucy looked absolutely adorable in her outfit.
She wore the same blessing dress and bonnet that I wore when I was blessed 26 years ago! Her Grandma Manwill made them for me when I was a baby. She also made Lucy some cute little booties to go with it. Spencer gave her the blessing and both of her great-grandpas were there for it, which was really special for me. Her Great-Grandpa Mac lives 3 hours away and her Great-Grandpa Manwill is 92 and has a hard time getting places so I was really glad they both made it. Afterward we had lunch at our clubhouse and so many important people in our lives - family and friends - were there to help us celebrate and remember this special day!

that's so fun you could pass that on to Lucy. She is so beautiful! How is it being a mommy? I'm sure it's hard to imagine how you ever lived without her now. Aren't children wonderful!
