Lullaby's baby blessing

Lullaby had her baby blessing on Sunday the 18th of December (a day and a few hours after moving here) in our new ward here in Decatur, Georgia. We were a little sad that we couldn't have it in Miami with our wonderful ward family there, but the timing just wouldn't work out for our real families to be there. Since everyone was coming to help us move in and unpack in Georgia anyway, it was perfect to just have her blessing here. There are some cute pictures of us getting Lullaby dressed, but those are on Stacy's camera (Stacy, you should send those to me if you get a chance). Stacy made this beautiful blessing dress, bonnet and slippers. It was so cute, and Lullaby looked adorable. Here she is getting her bonnet on, so sweet. To give you some idea of the detail that went into this outfit, Stacy padded the back of the bonnet so Lullaby would be more comfortable when she rested her head. I love it. Lullers loved all the attention.

Everyone took turns holding Lullers and snuggling her on her special day. It was so nice to have some family there with us (even if we wished everyone could have come). Paul's parents Lee and Stacy were there, my dad Chuck was there, and my sister Jolie and her son Bradley were there. Thanks for coming, it meant a lot to us. :)

Paul blessed his little girl with such sweet things. One of my favorites was for her "to be able to see all people as Heaven Father sees them and love them just the same".
Lullaby really is such a sweet little girl, and we are so happy that we get to have her in our family. We love you Lulla Baloo!

After church, she wanted to take a nap snuggled up with her daddy. Awww!
