Baby Blessing

Aislyn's blessing took place at the Bunnell ward 9am meeting on 12-26-10, the day after Christmas. We were blessed to have close family memebers come and attend and participate in giving a name and a blessing to our newest addition, Aislyn Kate Sanders at 4 weeks old. Those who participated in the circle of the blessing were, Faron ( giving the actual blessing), Arlen Sanders ( Poppy), Lynn Todd ( Papa), Adrein Sanders ( Great Uncle) , Chad Sanders ( Uncle), Rick Singler ( family friend), and Bishop Trowell. The blessing was beautiful and mentioned growing up strong inthe church, knowing her Savior, and one day meeting a young man worthy to take her to the Temple and to be married for time and all eternity. Faron did a beutiful job and the Spirit was strong. Aislyn looked beautiful wearing the gown me and my two sisters wore. This was so special to me and I almost cried getting her dressed that morning, imagining how my mother felt putting me in that same dress. I hope her daughter can be blessed in it one day too.







The pictures after the blessing didn't go as i planned. It was cold and windy outside, so we decided to take pictures outside the chaple. Unfortunately the rest of the family didn't get the memo. Faron's parents and little brother came down for Christmas and her blessing, but we didn't get any pictures of them with her. She was hungry, so these are the ones we did get. After church she was already out of her dress and we went to Granny's huose for lunch and cake where she slept the whole yime, so we didn't take too many pictures.

I LOVE all the pictures! Thanks Erin. Aislyn looked beautiful in our blessing dress. I'm glad you ended up using it. It never really thought about the possibility of using it. Good idea. Brayden looks like a proud big brother. I'm glad he liked the big brother party!
