Indie’s Baby Blessing

Jared blessed Indie at church on March 25th.  We had so much family there to be part of this special day for our sweet baby girl.  After church most came over for lunch at our house.  I believe the final count was 55!  It was a great day. 

*Warning – Picture overload :)

Our family of 6

Grandma Richards and Indie

The center of attention

Grandma & Grandpa Hastings

We were grateful that both sets of grandparents were there

Cute cousins (Jessica, Hannah, and Kiarra) and Aunt Emily

Jared and Tessa (the birthday girl!)

All of Jared’s brothers were there for the blessing!  Yea!  Too bad Micah took off before we took this picture :( 

Jared, his Dad, Dan and Nathan

Nathan and Meagan and cute Colton (they drove up from Vegas and it was soooo great to see them!)

Alissa, Emily and Micah

Dennis and Jodi came down from Smithfield.  It’s embarrassing how often we see (or maybe I should say, DON’T see) them and we always love getting together with them.

And Indie’s dress.  It turned out perfect!  I saw a similar idea on pinterest and while my mom was here helping out after Indie was born she made the dress.  My sister in law made the rosettes for me (which totally made the dress) and I put it together.  It’s still hanging over my closet door so I can look at it every day :)

I didn’t get a single smile from Indie while she was in her dress.

This picture was taken right after I changed her out of the dress – ALL smiles!  The little stinker!
