Easter Sunday we all got dressed up and ready for our first time taking John to church. Maddie was beautiful in her pink Easter dress and hat. She thought her dress looked like Little Orphan Annie's dress from the end of the movie. The boys begrudgingly dressed alike and looked quite sharp. John was dressed all in white for his special day. He wore the same outfit that Ryan wore for his blessing. The Smiths and their family took over the chapel. Everyone wanted to see our little John blessed. It was so wonderful. Spencer took John up with Doug, Brett, Dad Smith, Dave Woods and Mark Ping. The men stood in a circle and put their hands on John's head while Spencer gave him his name and a blessing. Then Spencer held John up for everyone to see. It was just precious. John was content the whole time. After church, family and friends came over to celebrate the blessing and Easter. We had a lovely ham dinner prepared by Doug. We had 40 people at our home. The weather was fantastic so many of us ate outside in the backyard. I think everyone had a good time - especially all of the children!
