Elaina received her name and a blessing on March 31, 2010. Her dad gave her a beautiful blessing. Oh how I love that man and the sweet little angel he was holding.
We were down in Utah for Spring Break- so we decided to have her blessing while we were there. I am such a ding dong- I wish I had gotten a picture of everyone that came. A big THANKS to everyone that made it. Mom & Dad Redd, Maryelle, Mormon and Alma. Great Grandma Naegle, Mom & Dad Thompson, Ashlee & Gabe, Kaleb, Lindsey & Ethan, Mark & Jaleah, my awesome brother Micah and Bishop Bush. Those in bold were in the blessing circle. Bishop Bush gave an opportunity for anyone who would like to to share their testimony before the blessing. It brought such a sweet spirit to the occassion. The spirit is such a great feeling.
Our little lady was given the name- Elaina Karen Redd. My cute grandma (pictured below) and I share the same middle name Elaine- so we played with that and named her Elaina. Her middle name-Karen is after Brigham's mother.
This is the dress that I made for Katry's blessing. I love that they are wearing the same dress.

What a HAPPY DAY! It made me really homesick to not be able to have joined in on the fun. She is sooo Sweet! She reminds me of Karty as a baby! She has that special Redd look! You look great Heather! Loved seeing Mom and Dad and Gramdma!
Love you All!
She is beautiful. I love her name. I had all my girls blessed in the same dress, too. I am going to save it forever. I just don't know who to pass it on to!
