Joyce's Blessing Day

John, Joyce and I have been in Texas this last weekend, where Joyce got to meet her Grandpa for the first time and where she got to meet most of her cousins. She enjoyed reading books with her Uncle Mike and her cousins Bryson, Izzy and Max.

On Sunday we blessed Joyce in the Searcy's family room. John, Mike, Donald, Dave, Tony Wright (a close friend of the family's) and Brother Fredrickson (the member of the Bishopric) all stood in a circle and held Joyce in her white, flowing dress which came in handy when Joyce started spitting up. John was able to reach down and wipe her up with the end of the dress. John gave Joyce a beautiful blessing blessed Joyce as she smiled up at him. When the blessing was done, we took some pictures all together outside.

And then in almost Johnson fashion, there was a photo shoot of Joyce in the backyard. Amie draped a blanket over a pillow and posed Joyce in various positions. Mike then proceeded to snap a myriad of pictures some of which I'll post below. The photo shoot included props like tiny purple flowers and roses which you will see below. I think the pictures speak to Joyce's personality. She is really great. I like her so bad.
