A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men

Ok, back to catching up. The next thing to happen after Christmas was Mark's parents coming up for our baby blessing. They stayed for a few days and we really enjoyed seeing them. We did the baby blessing on the 30th at my parents house (we couldn't do it on a Sunday at church cuz Mark left earlier than we planned and then we had bad weather). So it was just the fam, the bishop, and then my good friend Shauna came. We had dinner and then the blessing, and then every hung out and talked.

Evelyn looked RIDICULOUSLY adorable in her blessing dress! Monie's AMAZING mother-in-law made it for us. I had asked Monie to see if her ma-in-law could make a bonnet for Evelyn (they are bonnets which after you take out a couple stitches it turns into a handkerchief which she can use on her wedding day, isn't that awesome?), so she said yes to that and then was like, why don't I just make a dress too? She said she had left-over fabric/lace/etc. from making Monie's baby's blessing dress so she went ahead and made me one too! I couldn't believe it! It was amazingly sweet of her and I was so excited to get it. She even embroidered Evelyn's name in it. It's beautiful.

Anywho, here's some pics from that night.
