Ellie's Baby Blessing

When Ellie was born we knew we would be having the Bangerter Family Reunion in June so we pushed her baby blessing back so that the majority of both our families could be there. It was also very sweet have it at my house where I grew up. It is very surreal taking your child to the place where you were once a child and have so many memories.

Andrew gave Ellie a super sweet blessing. It was so special to hear him bless her and then look around the room of all the people that support her. Afterwards we took some pictures and then my Dad asked that Andrew & I share our testimonies. Andrew was holding Ellie and when I was bearing my testimony Ellie just started laughing. She had just barely learned how to laugh a few days earlier but this was the first time no one was even trying to make her laugh. It was a really sweet moment!

It was a special day that we will hold close to our heart. Thanks to both of her Grandmas for providing the beautiful outfit. Ellie wore my blessing dress all day then changed into one that Mom Bangerter had and had she added lace to it. She also wore my blessing shoes, had a sweet bracelet from my mom, and her headband was made from a flower from my wedding dress. She just looked adorable and so grown up!
