Blessing Day for Ella











It was a beautiful day! GG came down from Seattle and Gpa was able to make it to the Butler Creek Ward for the blessing, as did Rosemary and Angel. (Aaron and Lauren wanted to come but were unable to make it.) Ella was exquisite in a dress that had been worn by her Great-Grandma, Grandma, Mom, Aunt, Great Uncle and cousins when they were baptized in the Catholic church. There was also a pink jacket and bonnet. She was very beautiful! After the blessing, we all had dinner at Matt and Katherine's. James and I made manicotti which is what James had made for Matt when he was blessed at our home on December 31, 1984. It was a wonderful day!
