Kylie’s Blessing
We blessed Kylie in our ward on December 28th. Doug blessed her, and Chuck (Doug’s step dad), Brad (Doug’s brother) and Paul West, Paul Tanner and Nate McDonald (Doug’s brothers-in-law) all stood in. The whole Clark clan was there. And Lindsay’s building is very small, so we took up a lot of space.
Doug has been working on what he calls his “Jeremiah Johnson look” for a while now. Everyone has given him a hard time about it, but to no avail. But Mom succeeded without trying. The first thing he said when we unwrapped this blessing gown on Christmas morning was, “That’s such a beautiful dress. I feel like I need to go get a new suit and shave.”

One of Doug’s stepsister’s is missing, but other than that, this is the whole clan!
