Baby Blessing

Last weekend we blessed Paige in church.  Ryan's parents flew out from Utah to be there, and my parents and a bunch of my family from San Jose came up too.  The blessing was beautiful.  Afterwards we came back to our place for a luncheon and to sit and chat for a while.  Ryan's parents had to leave early to catch their flight back home, but we were able to get a picture with them really quick right before they left.

Here's our cute little family.

 And here's most of the group that came up from San Jose.  We were trying to use the tripod to take the picture so that everyone could be in it, but out of all the pictures we took, this is the only one that ended up looking decent, and about 4 people got chopped off the edges.  Next time we'll just have to kick someone out of the picture so they can take it.

 And here's the men that were in the blessing circle (except for Ryan's dad).  They all look so handsome!  :)

I took these pictures of Paige a few days later.  It was easier to not have to worry about entertaining and trying to get cute pictures of her on the same day.  I was hoping those few extra days would give her a chance to grow into her dress a bit... it didn't really work.  Oh well, she still looks cute.

Here's a shot of the whole dress.

And one with the bonnet.  It was way to big to wear.  She wasn't a huge fan of it either.  I think her sad face is so cute, though.

Close up of the pretty detail.

And look at those adorable little feet!  I know my mom and dad will love this one.

It was a busy weekend, but it was nice to have so much family come out to be there for the special occasion.  Thanks!
