Olivia's Blessing Day

On Sunday Brandon blessed Olivia. It was such a beautiful day. Brandon's mom and dad and sister (Holly), my mom and brother (Skyler) all came out for the weekend. I was so proud of Brandon. He did such a great job blessing her. I am so proud to be married to a man who honor's and uses his priesthood. It was a beautiful blessing. We almost were forgotten, the Bishop forgot to write down that we were going to bless her. When they went ahead with the sacrament we kind of panicked. Brandon wrote a note and took it up to the Bishop and Brandon did the blessing after that.
We were so grateful that some family could come out. Where we live so far away we really didn't expect people to be here. So thanks everyone that could come. The dress she wore my mom made for her. I tried it on her about a month ago and it was too short. Luckily my mom was able to fix it. Here are some of the pictures of our fun day.
