Last Sunday, October 9th, we were able to bless our little Hallie. We woke up early, put her in her huge dress and waited for family to show up to our house to head over to the church. I was overwhelmed with how many friends and family members showed up! We about filled the whole left side of the congregation. And that's not a joke. It was quite impressive..especially because there were three other babies being blessed. Ty had been really nervous preparing for what he thought he wanted to say. He did not want to be the first one to go up, but of course he was. Tyler had gotten permission to invite 4-5 others to join in the circle. We asked his two grandpas, my grandpa, my brother, and Michael our brother in law. As they walked up to the front and joined in the circle with Bishop, Grandpa Pico stopped and called all of Tyler's cousins up. Haha if you know Coach Pico..this is completely like him. If a baby is going to blessed, the whole family is gonna do it. I just had to laugh. Even with a screaming baby (the only one out of the 4 babies being blessed) Tyler gave Hallie a beautiful blessing. That she would grow up and find a testimony of her own and know the gospel's truth, that she would prepare to meet an eternal companion, and that she would be an example to those around her. He did such a great job, I was so proud of him!
After Sacrament we all went back to our house and since we had church at 8:30 we made breakfast. Pancakes, bacon, fruit...yummm! And of course the Pico's were all glued to the tv for the Vikings game. It turned out really nice. Tyler and I loved having so many family and friends in our house together. We live for that kind of stuff. It turned out to be such a great day.
The next day I put Hallie back in her blessing dress and took some pictures of her (see below). I think they turned out dang cute for using a digital camera! But how could they not??
