Avery's Blessing Day - November 1st 2009
With all our family in town for Dicie's baptism, we decided to bless Avery the same weekend. She was only 5 days old! It was a lovely day and another tender moment for me. Avery looked so sweet in her little dress and she was an angel during her blessing. She reportedly opened up her eyes and looked around while being blessed.
Dicie & Avery - 2 White DressesThese two look so sweet together! I was pretty pleased with how their dresses turned out. I spent a lot of time making them. I added just a bit of color to each dress and they both match. The flowers on Avery's dress were embroidered by my Grandma Gardner, who lives in Utah, which really makes it special. I hope that the girls both keep their dresses as heirlooms to pass onto their own children.
These moments only come once. They are so fleeting! I only pray that I've captured them in my heart well enough to look back on later and remember the joy. And I guess if my brain cells continue to be depleted and my memory fails me someday, at least I'll have my pictures. My paparazzi tendencies may just pay off in the end.

My baby brother was blessed the same day I was confirmed. It's always been a great memory! Your family is so cute! I'm totally jealous you have 5 kids! :)
You all look great in that family picture. I want to see a color picture of Avery's dress- I can't really see the embroidery in the black and white ones! It looks pretty but I just can't see the stuff Grandma embroidered very well. That was a cute idea to make them match.
Having Avery's blessing at the same time as Dicie's Baptism will be something those 2 little girls will have in common, and will treasure when they get older. That is one reason why we are waiting until January to bless Tysen- because the first Sunday in January is his big brother's birthday.
Can't wait to see you guys! Your family picture is absolutely adorable.
Angie darling...you are a radiant new Mom with a beautiful new baby....congrats!! I'm so glad you joined the 5 kid club. It is kind of a lot of kids these days. You seemed like you were very well prepared for it though.
Do you really want a hair thingy? If so of course you get the family special:-) I hope to have it going by this week.
Love you guys!
