Emry's blessing day

We decided to have Emry's blessing in December, hoping my Dad would recover from his brain surgery by then. Unfortunately he didn't and so his doctors denied our request for him to fly out to Honolulu. I still wanted my parents to feel apart of Emry's special day, so I asked my Mom to pick out a blessing dress for her to wear. My Mom sent it with Jane and David.

The blessing dress hanging in Emry's room.

Perfectly long and delicate. Just like Emry.

After the blessing. Wendi, Eric, Connor {13}, Pearce {4}, and Ermy {1 month}. Special thanks to those who participated along with Eric in bless Emry: Marlo Lopez, Brian Walter, Derick Hatch, Heber Moulton, Bishop Skinner, and David Phillips.

Baby Eclairs!

We call Emry Claire 'Eclair' as her nickname. This is kind of a family joke because one of our Piller family's favorite desserts is an heirloom eclair recipe that my Gramy (Piller-Jamison) at age 81 still makes every weekend. I have to confess these are not the coveted Piller heirloom eclairs, just mass-produced mini eclairs from the Costco freezer section.

At the end of the party, Jane and David gave me a beautiful pair of pearl earrings. This is their tradition, to give the Mom of a new grand-baby pearl jewelry. Thank you Jane and David!

This turned out to be a perfect day shared with our family and friends. We feel truly blessed to have Emry in our family and excited to watch her grow.
