Hannah's Baby Blessing

We blessed Hannah on October 12th in Paris, ID. It was a very touching experience and so many family members and friends were there to witness it. Thanks to all of you who attended! It meant so much to us to have you there.

Hannah was blessed with many wonderful things by her father. He blessed her that she would have a strong testimony and be an example to others around her. He blessed her that she would know that her Heavenly Father and her family loved her. He counseled her to follow the example of the righteous women in her life and to learn the good things of life from them. He blessed her with the capacity to see the needs of others around her and serve selflessly. He blessed her to have a strong testimony of the Savior and follow his example. He blessed her with a love of nature that she would recognize the beauty and blessings of the world around her that her Father in Heaven created. Those in the circle were Jacob White, Grandpa White, Great Grandpa White, Grandpa Packham, Brett Welch, Rod Mourant, and Brother Perkins (1st Counselor of the Paris, ID ward. What an amazing blessing--her father did a great job! :)

I have to let Hannah's Grandma White know that we LOVE the dress she made for Hannah. We know it took a lot of work and we are so grateful to have it for the rest of our children! It will definatly be a family treasure. Thanks again to all of you for your love and support at this special time in our lives!

Enjoy the pictures!

It sounds like Jake did an amazing job! I wish I could have been there to see it. Her dress is so adorable, Jake's mom must be a master with the sewing machine! Hannah looks socute in those pictures.
I love the one with her arms up in the air, she looks like she's cheering. How hilarious!
