It was a beautiful day filled with family and friends. My parents (Grandpa and Grandma Saunders) were able to make the drive from Utah to be with us. We were so glad they were finally able to meet their new granddaughter.
Matt, Madden, and Maggie made the drive from Lafayette, Indiana and several of our friends from Adam's work came including Maggie and CJ. We also had our good neighbors Don and Melissa Rockwell there. We were so happy that Adam was able to use the priesthood to give Elsie Marie her name and blessing. A short time later Daisy and Lucy needed to use the restroom so we slipped out of the chapel. As we entered the bathroom Daisy was so excited and said, "Mommy, Elsie has her "real name!" I couldn't help but smile and agree with her.
After sacrament meeting the kids had fun being with their cousins and other friends that came over to our house for a spaghetti dinner.
It was a nice afternoon spent visiting with our family and friends. We are so blessed to have a family that loves us and such good friends. We are even more blessed to have such a sweet and beautiful little girl as our new daughter.
