Katie's Blessing/Will's Farewell

We were truly blessed to have so much family present for Katie's special day. We decided to do her blessing at my parent's church the same day my little brother Will spoke for his mission. It was wonderful!

Megs took our beautiful family picture. She is amazing!

Justin gave Katie such a sweet blessing. It was further testiment to how special this little girl really is. My Grandma Sullivan bought Katie this dress. I absolutely love it!

Grandma Green and Grandma Sullivan were so awesome to make the trip.

The girls on the food prep.





We had so much food, it was crazy! The other advantage of combining our day with Will's was my parents provided most of the food for the event--double bonus!


I felt so bad for my cousin Parker. He was sick, so he had to sit outside so as not to infect others. I think this picture perfectly captures the way each of us feels when sick...


Sophie loved having adoring cousins around. I didn't want Sophie to feel so bad about Katie having a special dress to wear, so I made her a skirt to match the one I made for myself. She loved matching her mommy.


The proud parents with the soon-to-be missionary. My parents are now empty nesters, and they say it's fabulous.

Me and my Bug.


My baby brother *sniff*.


Sandy and Wade made Will this awesome cake!


A trip to grandma and grandpa's wouldn't be complete without Sophie's cousins dressing her up.



She is such a pretty baby!


Emmabelle



This is Jen's soul mate. Okay, so he's quite a bit younger than Jen, but the plan is for them to marry after his mission... in three years.


And this is what Will thinks about it...





Everyone sacked out after a fun day.


This is what color everyone's mouth was after eating Will's BOM cake...





Jen was brave enough to hold Katie. It was really hot by this point, so we let Katie cool down a bit in just her diaper. I made her some white ones just for this occasion...


Daddy did such a good job blessing our Bug.


My mom with Emmabelle and Katie. They are already best friends.
