Katelyn's Blessing Day...

Today we blessed our baby girl. It still seems unreal to us that we have a beautiful daughter.  Blessing her  made it a bit more real that she is definitely here and ours to keep.  It was such a great day with so much love and support from all of our family. We were amazed at how many came to celebrate with us.  We had over 100 people attend sacrament for the occasion.  Katelyn looked beautiful in her dress and was a little angel the whole time.

Raymond did a wonderful job of blessing her, he was incredibly nervous but did amazing.  Ray said she was awake and just watching everyone around her.  She didn't even make a peep though.  There were 19 people in the circle to bless her!  Those included were Raymond, Mike Maturo, Grandpa Winn, Uncle Rick, Steve, Cody, Uncle James, Uncle Matt, Uncle Rick, Scott Cash, Jeff Wurm, Jesse Lawson, Craig, Spencer, Jim, Blake, Bear, Jeff and Bishop Clark. We were so blessed to have them all in attendance.  

After sacrament we said goodbye to Maturo's so they could catch their flight home.  Then we headed to the Weber County Posse House for a yummy taco salad dinner. I was so nervous we wouldn't have enough food but I think it worked out perfectly.  It was so busy and crazy but so nice to see all of our families. They all loved Katelyn and kept saying how sweet and beautiful she is.  She had plenty of smiles to share with all those around her.  She has such a spirit about her, you just can't help but be happy when you are near her.
