Blessings, Birthdays and Baptisms (part 1)

I had one mega week last week and I think I am finally settling down and rested enough to write about it. Last Sunday Sallie and Micah blessed their beautiful baby boy Ali'i Toa Ka'ena and it was an amazing day! Micah did a fantastic job and Sallie is truly blessed to have such a wonderful example and priesthood holder as a husband. Toa was great for the whole blessing and the whole meeting for that matter. He is such a good little baby and has such an easy disposition. They are truly lucky parents!! Sallie asked me to take pictures to help document the day and I was happy to oblige. 

Toa patiently waiting to get his blessing outfit on:

Sallie and her little bundle all dressed and ready to go:

Sallie pulled out all the stops and really made everything look beautiful right down to the water bottles. She found a cute little shop on Etsy called Mason Jar Holdings. It's a cute little shop and she does some really amazing stuff.

Here's the table all prepared for the guests:

And of course I had include a close up of the water bottles and muffin toppers:

All the men who surrounded Toa and participated in the blessing:

And of course I had to get a picture with my little sis'. I love this girl and am so very proud of her!!!

So at 5 days old my little nephew became my newest hat model. Luckily I had one of my hometowns premier photographers to do the job. Christina is one amazing lady and has such an eye for detail. If you have a chance you should head over to Christina P Photography and check out her work...amazing!!!

Anyway this is little Toa and I got the meaning of his name wrong (in an earlier post) it means warrior, not chief. Whoops!! He has been such a good little boy and he is the sweetest/cutest little baby. I just can't enough of him!!!

I am absolutely in love with all of these pics and can't wait to get them up on my site!!
