Julie's dress for her blessing was just so stinkin' cute. Ben's mom Darcy crotcheted it for her. She also did a bonnet and booties that were simply adorable. She was worried that the booties weren't going to come out close enough to the same size, based on how she's done them in the past, but I thought they were nearly perfect.
Julie did really well with so many people this weekend as well. I thought she was going to end up really overstimulated at the end of everything, but she surprisingly wasn't. She was a little angel for everyone (most of the time). It was my dad's first time to meet Julie (he was the last grandparent), and he had the magic touch with her. It was also the first time for Crys and Fred, and my brother Clayton. For a 15-year-old teenage kid who thinks he's super cool, I was impressed with how he was with her. For one thing, he seemed really excited to meet her and get to hold and play with her. He didn't seem afraid to hold her either.
Julie's blessing itself was short and sweet, but the real fun was just getting to see everyone this weekend. Here are some more pictures.

Julie's dress is so cute, I love it!
You are going to have to shadow box that cute little dress and hang it somewhere next to a picture of her wearing it. I really wanted to write down the blessing for you guys as Ben was saying it but my kids were going crazy. Did anyone write it down or record it for you?
Great pictures! Glad the weekend went well!
Oh my word, I LOVE Julie's outfit! How sweet is that! And so unique! I love it!
I'm so glad the weekend went well, family can be stressful (And wonderful of course!)
