Charlie-Marie's Blessing Day
In our church we have what is called a baby blessing.  It is in some ways a name giving ceremony.  It is a ceremony of sorts where the baby is given a name and given blessings and guidance by a man holding the priesthood authority (which in many cases is the father).  In our case it was Dan.  It was a very special day for us and a very beautiful blessing.  It was very special to see Dan so lovingly holding and blessing his daughter.  It just increased my love for them both.  It was so special to share it with family and friends.  We were able to have it done when we visited Washington so that the majority of our families would be able to be present.  It was so wonderful and memorable.  Mookie made the blessing dress herself with a matching headband and of course a little bling (bracelet).  Brandi and David made the cutest pale pink silky shoes.  
She truly looked like an angel!  
After church we had a family luncheon and kept trying to get pictures, but our little angel was quite sleep deprived and as tired as she was she would not sleep, but when she was awake she was crying so we missed our chance for a group picture so here is what we have.
