Jade's baby blessing was today. It was a little short notice because I couldn't make up my mind when I wanted to have it so not many people were able to make it. However it was still a nice event.
RoAnne made a gorgeous blessing dress and my mom made a beautiful afaghan. Little Jade looked so adorable. We weren't able to have everyone in the circle that we wanted due to how large our families are. There ended up being Aaron, Clair, Austin, Jeremy, Cade, my dad, Austin, Hudson and Brother McKenna. Unfortunately Grandpa Gunn wasn't able to make it because they got lost, as did many members of my family. (That stupid fork in the road at 7800S messed everyone up and they ended up at another church.) Aaron did a great job with the blessing. He kept to the plan of naming her Jade Leighla Sorensen, not something like Jade Jubaca Sorensen or something ridiculous like that. A couple of things that I can remember him saying was he blessed her with the ability to discern the Spirit in her life and follow the promptings that she received. He also blessed her that she would find a righteous husband and children when the time was right. He also blessed her that she would be a good example to those around her.
After the meeting we all went to the park next to our house and had lunch of cold cut sandwiches and potluck salads. The weather was great, there was a playground to play on for all the kids and there was enough food for everyone. And of course the star of the show, Jade, slept through the entire thing.
It really was a special day and we appreciate everyone's support and love. Thank you to everyone that came and participated in this fabulous day!
