Blessing Day

Allyson and Haleigh were blessed on December 4, 2010. We decided to have it at the church to make it less hectic for everyone. I was pretty sure we wouldn't be able to get the twins and all of us ready by 9:00. The earliest we had made it up to that point was 9:10 and that was with dressing the twins in their dresses the night before, which you can't do with blessing dresses. I also thought that it would be fun to have a potluck after and this way we could have it right at the church.

The day was a very special day despite the fact that Haleigh pooped through her dress a few minutes before the blessing (which I changed on the floor of the church hallway). It was nice to have close friends and family there and for Clif to feel relaxed  to give them beautiful blessings. They both talked about being strong in the gospel and doing well in school. While they were similar in nature, they also were very unique. I know Haleigh's talked a lot about being a good friend and Allyson talked more about her own family. (I hope I remember that correctly). The lasagna and food that others brought was delicious and we more than enough.

I want my daughter's to know that I have a testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I know that everything good in my life as happened because of Him. I know that through following the commandments, reading my scriptures, saying family and personal prayers, and having faith that I will one day be able to see Him again. I am so very blessed to have the gospel in my life. I am so blessed to have a husband who honors and uses his priesthood. I am also so very thankful that you girls were born into our family. Your brother and sister love you so much and I know without a shadow of a doubt that you were meant to come to our family. I am thankful that Heavenly Father trusts me enough to raise such special spirits.

Both of our mom's contributed to their dresses. How special is that!

My mom purchased them and his mom sewed them to fit.

Robyn took a video while we were having pictures done and Spencer was saying ham sandwich and Addy was saying mac n' cheese. Addy was also doing her ballerina moves, sticking her legs straight up in the air and such! Too funny!
