Blessing Day

Feb 12, 2012
Nellie's blessing day was wonderful, however I had an epic fail day at taking pictures. I had my camera with me the whole day but didn't take any pictures. The pictures I do have Stephanie took. Nellie did pretty well most of the day. Lots of family came to her blessing and the day was really wonderful. We had the luncheon at Papa's house after her blessing where many more people came to see our beautiful baby girl.

We tried to take a family picture. This was the best of the bunch which is saying a lot. James was tired, Sophia had already melted down and Helena was on her way to it. Daniel and Sterling did a fabulous job at looking at the camera though!

When it came time for Nellie's pictures she was equally as cooperative!

We got a few pictures of my pretty baby, but none that captured her beautiful dress that Papa bought for her with a happy face.

So, this will be the picture of the day, with the baby asleep and mom and dad as proud as can be! We love you baby Nellie. We are so grateful that you were able to come to our family. We are grateful you are healthy and growing well.
You were named after your great-grandmother Peternella Maria Kruys DeVroom. She was an amazing women who had only kindness in her heart. She was an amazing teacher, friend, mother and grandmother. I hope that you can follow after her. We love you!
