Elli's Baby Blessing - June 3th, 2012

The Blessing from Heavenly Father and Dad was very Beautiful. The spirit was very strong. She slept all the way until it was time for the blessing and was awake for the whole thing and then fell back to sleep once they returned back to their seat. The Uncles said that she really looked like she was enjoying the bouncing from the circle. 

Elli wore a Shawl made by Great Grandma Doris, a Blessing Dress made by mom (Heidi), a headband from Grandma Dickinson and a Bracelet from  Aunt Nicki and the Girls. She looked BEAUTIFUL!

The seats filled up with a lot of supporting family including great grandpa and grandma Hansen, Both sets of grandparents -Hoover and Dickinson. lots of uncles, aunts and cousins including: Paul and Kari, Nicki and Brad- Dominic, Jaron, Hudson, Megan, Laurena, Sonja, Heidi and Bryant -Gwen, Adel, Siena, Indi, Kody and Jenni - Ashton, Aden, Bryce and Stephanie- Brundal, Britten, Jersey, Wade, Kristi, Kayla, Jodie, 2nd cousin -Breanne, friends Anna and Katelyn. and of course mom and dad were there too. ELLI YOU ARE LOVED!!

After Grandpa finished running in the starlight parade Saturday night- Grandpa and Grandma Dickinson took off late into night and drove the long drive to get to Provo arriving an hour before the church started and did the long drive back as soon as the picnic was over just so they could attend her blessing! How awesome!

after church we had a picnic at the local park with the family. Lots of great food and fun. everyone wanted to hold Elli. The cousins enjoyed playing on the play structure, playing karate, and doing a dance show for the adults.
