Blessing and Easter

We had a fun filled weekend. Saturday morning we blessed Abigail at Nana and Pops house. We figured it was the perfect time to do it since family would be around and we were already together. Abigail was beautiful in her pretty white dress (the same one Gracie wore for her blessing) and looked like an angel. It was special having all of Ben's family there.

After the blessing we changed clothes and headed to the field for the big Easter Egg hunt. Gracie loved it! She knew exactly what to do after all of the practice we had been having at home. She was very good and didn't open her eggs until the end. We had a weenie and s'more roast after the hunt, then enjoyed being outside in the perfect 75 degree weather for the rest of the afternoon. Easter morning was a little cold, but I managed to get a picture after church. We sure enjoyed the weekend and being with family. Gracie had a blast on the Ranch with all her cousins and Abby was such a sweet easy going baby.
