Livy's blessing

Livy's blessing was November 7th. Jarom gave her a beautiful blessing and we were lucky to have some special friends travel to be a part of the circle. Our favorite missionaries that also baptized Uncle Bob were able to come. Elder Jed Anderson "Andy" and Elder Jordan Durocher traveled from Birmingham and Selma to help bless Livy. I made it to church on time (you remember the craziness of Addie's blessing) and it all went smoothly! In the circle was Jarom, Dad, Uncle Jeff, Nate Mayfield, Ron Bruce, John Mazanis, Elder Durocher, Elder Anderson, Chris Madsen, and Bishop Winters. Livy was great throughout the blessing and didn't make a peep!

(not pictured: Nate Mayfield, Jeff Roper, Bishop Winters, Chris Madsen-we couldn't find them for a picture, they had already left church)
Livy's shoes were handmade by a lady that my Dad knows, I made her bow, and ordered the same dress that Addie had (it was the prettiest one I could find) so that Livy would have her own dress to pass down, and Jarom got Livy her first pearl necklace and bracelet. After church we had the family and elders over for a dinner of grilled porkchops, mashed cheesy potatoes, salad, bread, and cake. Yum!

Not exactly the family picture I was going for, haha. Oh well.Dad, Bob, Jarom, Me, Livy, Mom, Addie. Katie had to work, Scott, and the rest of the family had already headed home.

The "prego trio" and the kids! Ashley, Addie, Me, Livy, Christian, and Victoria. Now we just need little Nick to arrive!
