We were able to bless Ivy on Easter Sunday-okay, I guess Steve blessed her, and he did an amazing job. My brother in law was joking around that Steve should be the official 'family blesser' and just bless all the babies because he is so good at it and it is really true. He really has a way with words and it was beautiful. The spirit was very strong and it was a reaffirmation to me that Heavenly Father knows and loves our family and we are so blessed that he sent Ivy to us. It is amazing how our family feels complete with her. She is a beautiful, amazing, sweet little girl. One of the things Steve said in her blessing that surprised me was that she will serve a mission. I thought that was pretty cool...I was stubborn and had to have a couple of blessings tell me that before I was willing to consider it, so I guess good to start on her now!
We were so blessed to have so much family here for her blessing and I can't believe that I didn't get a group picture of everyone. I was so busy worrying about food, etc. I totally spaced it. So sad. But we really are grateful that they were here! Also, I made Ivy's dress...it was my first use of a pattern, ever so I am pretty proud of it. My mom cut it out while she was here and I sewed many late nights to get it done. I didn't get a great picture of her in it...when I finally took her out to try the light was horrible and the pictures didn't turn out. I have been meaning to put her in it and try again...even though it was 3 weeks ago, I still might do it!
