Emma's Blessing Day July 6, 2008

Emma's blessing was such an incredible experience! A big THANK YOU to everyone who came and was a part of it! Ammon did an incredible job, Emma was a good little girl, and I cried through te entire thing! Here are SOME of the hundreds of pictures we took. Ammon thought it was "worse than our wedding"... but I didn't think our wedding was BAD, was it? :)

Emma in all her glory in the AMAZING blessing dress that I made! That's right... I actually have a domestic side. :)



The new happy little family!
Jes's side of the family. We missed you Ty, Jen, and Cam! Hopefully we can make it to one of each other's baby blessings!







Ammon's side of the family. We missed you Kimball, Dallin, and Jana! Hopefully we'll all be together at one of our big events! :)
I HAD to show off the dress :)

Emma crashed in the blanket that Grandma Brown made for her big day. Thanks again!
