Avery's Blessing Ceremony

What a wonderful day we had celebrating the blessing of our darling daughter Avery Nell on September 28th, 2014.  It could not have been a more perfect day, the weather was 80 degrees and sunny and we were surrounded by our family during the ceremony and our friends joined for brunch following. 

Our officiant from our wedding Anita did the ceremony and she did a wonderful job.  It was so special to now have here with us for our daughter special day.  Dave's parents, Aunts Susie and Nancy and cousin Tracy joined us from Minnisota and My Aunt Jane came in from Ohio.  My bestie Britini was there as Avery's Godmother and Dave's brother Mike as Avery's Godfather. 

The ceremony was just beautiful and following that we had an amazing brunch. Nana was superwoman and helped us throw a wonderful party, the food, drinks and company were perfect.  

We are so grateful that our friends drove from the city to join us and shower Avery with love and affection.  She also received wonderful gifts from everyone, we are so so appreciative that people are so giving.  Below are photos that Auntie Kara took for us as our "photographer" for the day, they turned out just amazing and we are so grateful to her for capturing these memories for us.
