Blessing Day 10-10-10

Brad and I decided to bless the twins at our old ward in Salt Lake on 10-10-10. What a great day. We were so glad we did, it was great to have family there and to say goodbye to our salt lake ward.

I have to give a shout out to Auntie Lori, Aunt Les, and Mom who made these dresses!! I mean seriously, that is raw talent to make two baby blessing dresses, with no pattern, and while Lor was 9 months pregnant! They turned out perfect thanks to my MAD seamstress! I was supposedly going to make the dresses with just the guidance and assistance of my older, wiser sister. However, when I was driving to meet her to finish making them I went into labor!! The best is I didn't even know I was in labor until I called Lori to tell her I was on my way. I mentioned that I'd been having contractions all day, now it was seven at night and they kept getting closer together. They were painless so I thought it was nothing. Good thing for older sisters to tell you when you need to go to the hospital! The twins were born that night at 9:31 and 9:33!

Frankie was wide eyed for her big day. She was blessed first... born first... the blessings were so sweet. Both babies had a unique and individualized blessing from their Daddy. It was truly inspired and made me tear up even reading them over again.

Little Jolie was so cute... she was holding her head up all by herself on her tummy for so long. Perfect for our photo session. Granny made Frankie and Jolie these perfect white, soft, cozy, and elegant blessing blankets. Oh, we love her! My Young Women I used to teach gave the twins a blessing bracelet. Auntie Lor made a bracelet for them that matched their dresses too!
We are so spoiled.

Frankie and Jolie... Reception was followed at The Scotsman and we were so happy to have almost all of our family there! We love you guys!
