Thanksgiving and Belle's Blessing

We went home for Thanksgiving and it was so much fun! Belle was the highlight of all the parties! We ate dinner with my family in the afternoon and then went down to Springville that night to play with the Nielson bunch. All of Belle's aunts, uncles, and cousins adored her throughout the week. She loved being held by everyone! Then on Saturday we blessed Belle at my parents' house. My whole family was there and most of Platte's siblings were there. Belle was a little angel. Everything was perfect and we appreciate everyone for coming! Here are pictures of Belle in her first white dress. :)
So pleasant

Hey guys, I'm so glad I found your blog. Platte, you can't hide from me! Your little Belle is so precious, and her blessing dress is adorable! It looks like things are going well, it's always fun to go home for the holidays. My mom said she talked to you, but not until vacation was long past. I'd have invited you up. Hopefully I'll see you're cute family sometime soon!
