Blessing Brynlee

Our sweet little baby Brynlee is such a treat to have in our home. She is so mild and sweet. Her cry is so quiet and thoughtful like she is really trying to communicate. Her voice cracks sometimes when she cries and it is so cute you just have to say "oooh." She is so quick to smile at anyone that will talk to her which adds to her kissable-ness.

We had such a wonderful time with family on the weekend of her blessing. Rick's parents came out from California and we had all the Utah Sannars and Wilhelmsens there to share in our joy. We had dinner together afterwards and then headed to my parents' house to show off the beautiful chicken coop that Rick built and of course the chickens that go inside it.

Here are some pictures of Brynlee in her blessing dress. I actually crocheted this dress with matching bonnet and booties for Rayna when she was a baby. Rayna wore it, Jaeda wore it, and Megan (Wyn's daughter) all wore it for their blessing day. I'm so glad that it's gotten so much use. But as the crazed Mom trying to get everyone ready and to church on time on the special occaision and in a hurry to undress the baby that might spit up on the white dress or something even worse, I incidentally have never taken pictures of the dress itself. Shan'l came over and used her special photography talents to capture the beautiful dress, and the beautiful baby girl wearing it.
