Blessing Day, Easter Sunday

Just for comparison I took this picture of Sophie in her blessing dress on the day we had originally wanted to bless her , she was one month old.

Here she is on Blessing day 3 Months old and much bigger.  I was a little worried she wouldn't grow into the dress in time, then I was worried she would grow out of it.  But it tuns out that it fit perfectly.

Thanks to Lani these are the notes from Sophie's blessing:
"Heavenly Father by the authority of the Melchizedek priesthood that  we hold we give this child a name, Sophie Ella Hurst.  We bless you to be strong.  We bless you to come to know the principals of the gospel.  Share this happiness with those around you, connect with the people around you.  Be a Missionary with the sweet spirit around you.  
Blessings throughout your life" 

Lani made her the sweet pink pearl bracelette

Here is Sophie with Gigi

After everyone left Sophie had some time in the swing before heading off to St. George for a few days.
