Blakely's Blessing

We had Blakely's blessing on January 2nd. My mom was still in town, so we thought that would be the perfect time to have it. My dad drove up from LA where he was visiting my uncle, and Dave and Bon-Bon drove down from Utah.


Bonnie had offered to make a new dress for B, but my mom thought she had saved the dress from when Eriika and I were little. Sure enough, she found it, and it was in great condition, expect for a few little spots on the inside. It was exquisite. It was purchased 38 years ago by our Aunt Eileen, who was a very fancy lady with great taste.


In the circle we had Lance, my dad, Lance's dad, Dave Ashby, Steve Leeflang, Tyler Carter, Tyler Atwood, and Louis Gray. It was a wonderful blessing, and a great day with friends and family.

The whole fandamily

After church, we had a little luncheon for close friends and family. I served 2 (very juicy and delicious!) hams, Brooke's creamed corn, 2 orange Jello's and rolls. I did 2 GF double chocolate bundt cakes for dessert.


Lance made quick work of carving up the delicious hams for the crowd

Everyone dug in, and stayed to visit and eat




After lunch, Bon-Bon and Dave had to head back to Utah, and my dad headed back down to LA. We sat around chatting with friends for a few hours, and then gloated about B's good behavior, citing the fact that she made nary a peep during the blessing. What a little Angel.
