Alexis' blessing

Alexis' blessing day was just that- a blessed day. I'm so thankful for everyone that made it. The grandparents, of course. But also my brother-in-law and his family. And Cliff and Debbi. It was really cool to have them share this special day with us.

The blessing itself was wonderful. Alexis was blessed to become an educated person and to find a wonderful man who will love her, bless her, support her, but also take her to the temple. She was also blessed with health and kindness. Of course she cried the whole time, which I had a feeling she would since she was super antsy right before. Paul attempted to stick the binkie into her mouth, but baby's got her mind of her own, and she did not like to be held up in the air with a bunch of men surrounding her and mommy nowhere to be seen. As soon as everyone said Amen, little miss was done crying and was fairly happy for the remainder of the meeting. Silly girl. I have to thank everyone that was in the circle: Daddy, Bon-Papa, Grandpa, Paul, Cliff, Bishop Ellsworth, and Brother Embling (friend and neighbor).

After the Sacrament Meeting we all went home, ate food, hung out, and celebrated Bonne-Maman's birthday. I'm sure it was a very special day for Bonne-Maman. Alexis couldn't just share a birthday with Grandma, she also had to share her blessing day with Bonne-Maman :-)

October 16 will always be a special day for multiple reasons. (1) Bonne-Maman's birthday (2) Alexis' blessing day (3) First day William and I kissed, 11 years ago. It was the beginning of our Happily Ever After.
