Makenna's Blessing Day

Makenna was blessed at church on Sunday March 7. For those of you who don't know what a baby blessing is, it is a special blessing that is given to the baby by a worthy male member of the church, typically the father of the baby. In the LDS church children are not baptized until they are 8 years old so as babies they are blessed as infants so their names can be placed in the records of the church. In the blessing the baby's name is stated and they are given a special blessing of things that are wished for the child to have through out their life. Nick did a great job and gave Makenna a very beautiful blessing. Makenna wore a very special and beautiful dress that Nick's Grandpa Hansen wore when he was christened 84 years ago. After the blessing we had an amazing lunch that our mom's put together for all of our family that attended the blessing at Nick's Grandma and Grandpa's house. We had a great time!

She wasn't thrilled about getting MORE pictures taken but I had to show off the whole dress. She looked so beautiful!
And I had to show off the booties Nick's Aunt Vicki made for her. They are so cute! Vicki is literally the most talented person I know!
It was a wonderful and very special day!
