Channing's Special Day

We blessed our sweet little princess, Channing Lillie Stone on the 26th of December. It was a little crazy with it being the day after Christmas, but it all worked out great. We had a great day filled with family and friends. Her blessing was done by her Grandpa Stone and he did a great job. It was a beautiful blessing. She cried through most of it, but it was still great. She still hadn't recovered from me ticking her off getting her in her dress etc. She was not happy that I woke her up for all of that. After the blessing we came to our house for brunch. We had a little over thirty people here. We had planned enough for about forty/forty five. A few people were not able to come, but we still had a great turn out. No get together would have happened if Mary and Isaac (mostly Mary) had not convinced me to do one. I thought our house would be too small, that it would be too chaotic, and mainly I did not want to cook and put on a show for everyone. Making a meal for a big group of people, not my thing. I barely am able to make dinner for my little family with out being frazzled. Mary and Isaac took it upon themselves to do everything for us. We provided the food and they made it all. I told them I would try to embarrass them so hopefully it's working. They made delicious french toast complete with your choice of strawberries, huckleberries, peaches, mixed berries, and breakfast potatoes with kielbasa sausage. It was so delicious! I got a picture of the potatoes and then got distracted and didn't get a picture of the whole buffet like I wanted, bummer. Thank you Mary and Isaac for making it all happen. We would not have done anything if they hadn't have taken charge. They even came over on Christmas night and helped get everything ready. They are AWESOME and we owe them big time! We are so grateful to have Channing in our lives. I already don't remember what things were like before she was here. She is a little sweetheart and we are truly blessed. Here are some pictures of the big day.

We were able to get a little smile out of her
Makoy looked so handsome and was a proud big brother.

I could not get a group shot for the life of me, people were too spread out, but here are some of the people who came.

And some more

Mary and Isaac, our chefs for the day. This is the best I could get since they are so stubborn and wouldn't let me take a picture.


See what I mean? They came over the night before to prep some food and set things up. I tried to get a picture then, too.
