Sofia's Blessing Day



Today was the day that Sofia Caroline received her name and a blessing. She is wearing a vintage dress her mama wore back in the 70's when she received her name and blessing. I love the smocking. With her bonnet I thought she looked like a pioneer baby. Josh, her cousin said she looked like Little Bo Peep. Anyway, she looked beautiful. She was an angel during the blessing and did not cry. Kersten did a wonderful job on the blessing and drew the spirit in. Overall, it was perfect.

Afterwards we had a little shindig at our house with food and conversation. It was fun and went off without a hitch. Thanks to my mom, sisters and family. Thank you to all of the people that helped make it so wonderful. It really was fun. And we missed all of you that we love that could not attend. I just revel in my babies cuteness and beauty.

She looks so cute, and it's beautiful that she wore your blessing dress! Sorry we missed it. We were supposed to go to my parent's mission homecoming today, but I forgot about daylight savings, so we ended up missing that too. :( I'm glad that everything went flawlessly for you. You need unstressful things!

Laurie I am so sorry. I completely forgot that her blessing was yesterday. I think I was waiting to hear from you to see what I could bring so I thought that it wasn't for awhile. I'm so sorry. She looks beautiful though! I love that she is wearing your dress. She really is an angel. I am so glad that it went well.

We would have loved to have been there, but alas, I had Sharing Time in Primary at that same time! She looks beautiful - I love the family picture.
