Macie's Blessing

Yesterday Baby Macie had her baby blessing. She wore this gorgeous dress that was so long and elegant. Grandma Ford made it for her. We all went down to Ogden for it. The blessing was at 5pm and when we got there at 5pm the church was locked and everyone was standing outside huddled together to try and keep warm from the brisk fall wind. Karolee finally tracked the bishop down (he was sick and had forgotten) and we got inside. It was a really nice occasion and Nate was able to give her a beautiful blessing with most of our family there, and his too. Peter was loving having all the boys to play with. In fact, after the blessing was over and the (yummy!) cake that we had for a refreshment was being cleaned up the kids were all having fun together. Too much fun!
And before we knew it 'someone' had pulled the fire alarm!!! They said Derek did it, and he admitted to it , but I still wouldn't put it past any of them. Peter loved it when the fire truck came. Nate tried to call the fire department to tell them it wasn't as emergency, just an accident - but they came anyway. I think it was the first time he and Sophie have seen a fire truck in person, and they loved how huge it was!! It was a great way to end the day!! We will never forget Baby Macie's blessing day!
