March 4th was Michelle's blessing day and it was wonderful. It was nice to have so much family be able to come and be there with us. Joe's parents and his brother Benny's family were all there as well as two of his cousins and their families. My parents and my cousin Lauren came up from Salt Lake and my sister came from Wisconsin. We had quite the group it was fun.
The biggest challenge was that we have 9 am church but by some miracle everyone made it in time for the blessing. Michelle's ensemble involved 5 generations of women. She wore the blessing dress that my mom bought and used with me. The blanket my Grandma Cole made. and I made her booties with yarn that was from my great-grandma Cole, and of course Michelle was wearing it all!
Joe gave her a beautiful blessing and the spirit was strong. A deacon that was holding the microphone for the blessing even bore his testimony about how he felt the spirit and that she was going to have a great life. After Sacrament mtg we took some pictures of the whole group and we went to our apartment for a little luncheon. Then after everyone left we took a bunch more pictures.
