Blessing Day!

The Sunday after Christmas, Dan was able to use his priesthood and give our little girl a name and blessing. He did a beautiful job! He brought such a sweet spirit into the meeting. She was so well behaved, sleeping through the whole thing. It was a wonderful day filled with MANY family and friends. We added about 108 people to our Sacrament meeting-- all for our tiny little girl! She's SOOOO loved and we appreciate it. Here are the highlights.

Webster Grandparents

Thompson Grandparents (Dad was all ready to cheer on the U in their bowl game-This time I will say GO UTES! I guess they deserve it.)

Condie Great-Grandparents
Great-Grandfather Nelson
Four Generations
Great-Grandma Jeanne, Grandma Kelly, Me, McKenna (and Dan)

The booties were made by one of my co-workers
Most of the priesthood circle. We're missing Dan's dad and Grandfather.

Oh you guys, you could've added like 112 people had we been able to find a parking spot! John and I were so bummed when we were running just a little bit late and got to the chapel and by the time we found a spot we realized we were going to miss it. We had to just drive right back to our chapel for our services. We are so sorry we couldn't be there but know that we were thinking of you! McKenna looked gorgeous, what a doll!

It was an honor to attend. Thank you Sylvia and Dave for hosting a Wonderful Celebration afterwards! We're SO VERY HAPPY to have Dan in our family and to get to associate with you other good folk! McKenna was the Perfect Princess. Could she BE otherwise? Not with those parents and that blessing. What a lucky little girl. We Love You All! Mom and Dad Thompson

That's awesome. I'm sure your ward thanks you for the extra 108 people! Of course the queen for the day was totally deserving of the attention and love. :)

We were so bummed we weren't able to come! Our flight home left only a few hours before. Looks like everything went great though. BTW, I love McKenna's dress!
