Saturday was a day full of family and friends coming together to celebrate Baby Ella.
It is tradition in the Mormon Church to give a child and name and a blessing.
We decided to bless her in our home instead of at church.Something,I now wish, I had done with all of our children.
I got a little teary-eyed when I looked at the circle of family and friends gathered to help Ryan perform the blessing.
Family of Five.
Ella wore a dress made by her Grandma Peggy with cute pink shoes from Grandma Shirlene and was wrapped in a blanket made by her only living great-grandparent, Great Grandma Matthews.
Ryan's sister Stephanie, brothers-in-law Mike and Jay and his mom, Shirlene, all joined us for the weekend.
Grandma Peggy and Grandpa Jim were able to stay to participate too.
Dad and Daughter.
