Morgan's Blessing

We were so blessed to have a wonderful blessing day for Morgan.  We had so many of our family and closest friends make it out to come support us and it was truly a beautiful day!!  Miss Morgan Jane got to wear the blessing dress that I wore when I was blessed and that my mom made herself! It is a BEAUTIFUL dress- my mom is so talented and it was really special to carry on the tradition.  John gave her a beautiful blessing. Some of things said included that she would follow after her namesake and be kind and generous, always helping those in need and a comfort to those around her. There was a lot more said too, but I wrote it all down in her baby book and in her journal that her Grammie bought for her. 

She had been crying right up to about 10 minutes before her blessing and fell asleep and slept through it and woke up and started crying again just a few minutes after! I'm so glad she didn't cry during it!! She was a little grumpy the rest of the day (which was totally normal for her at the time.  We are so grateful she is growing out of her colic stage!!), but we did get in some good pictures in her dress and as a family. 

After church we had a delicious luncheon and enjoyed being with everyone and catching up with all the family from out of town. It truly was a wonderful day! Thanks to all who came from near and far to support us!

 Cafe Rio Pork Tacos and Salads and pretzl jello salad and desserts! The food was so good! Thanks in huge part to my mom for helping me make and serve it all! She worked her buns off and it was all a big hit!!

 In her post blessing sunday dress :)  (Don't worry, it's a hand-me-down, but I just thought it was so darn cute on her!)
