Maris' Blessing Day

It seemed a little crazy to me to be blessing a baby so young- she was exactly one month old!  But it made the most sense to do it when everyone was here for katelyn's baptism.  So here's our pretty girl, with the blessing blanket made by her great-great-grandma Cobb.  Great-Great Grammy passed away a few days ago, which makes this even more sweet! I'm so glad Grammy got to see pictures of Maris Amanda, since Amanda was her mom's name!  Oh and I need to post pictures of the quilt my Grandmom made Maris- from handkerchiefs that belonged to this Amanda, her 3rd-great grandmother!  Amazing!

The guys all vetoed the giant flower shown above, so she got this smaller one and the big one went back on Kate. :)  Here's Eric with his baby girl.  So special for him to perform this blessing the day after baptizing and confirming Kate!  He's such a sweet Dad.

Two of my girls in white, the baptism girl and the blessing girl!  Precious.
Love this family pic with Whitney finally happy, Owen squirming, and me wearing clothes that do not make me look huge like the ones I wore the day before haha.
Maris with her grandmas that she is named after!  Lucky girl.
And this one from the day before with Grandpa Jamie and Grammy.
Maris was lucky to be blessed by her Dad, with her Grandpa Jamie, Uncles Ryan, Derek, and Jonathan, and Great-uncle Von in the circle.  It was a beautiful blessing and apparently she was smiling the whole time!  So cute since she was barely learning to smile at that point, she must have seen angels. :)  
My parents and Jonathan had to leave right after to get back to California for Girls Camp, but Mary, Elizabeth, Ryan, Cortnee, Cleo, Melissa and Derek came over for some yummy dinner after church, and we had a fun time visiting.  It was a great weekend with family!
