Since we knew Cal was going to have to wait longer to meet Anabelle and we knew we wanted to have family in town for her blessing day, we decided to bless Anabelle during Grandma and Grandpa Broadbent's visit in November. We also took too long to pick a dress for her to wear and couldn't find one that we loved, so grandma offered to sew one for her instead. We picked out a pattern and some fabric and she worked really hard and it turned out super cute!! I wanted a more modern looking one than old, long, beaded and lace ones, so this made me so happy!
I made her headband out of some extra dress fabric too so that was kinda fun and we were ready to go! The white blanket we used that day was made by her Great-grandma Gibson who knitted baby blankets for each of her grandkids to use for their babies before she had passed away. I loved my grandma very much and miss her, so it meant a lot to me!
Dad was so nervous about the blessing and if Anabelle would cry, that he forgot to ask the Bishop to join the circle:) He thought we would join in automatically. Other than that, it went great and Kyle did a really good job and Anabelle was happy.
Until.... we tried to take pictures with her! Every time we tried to pose for one, she would start crying and just wanted to be asleep. Probably had something to do with us pulling her binki out:) That didn't exactly improve the quality of the family picture.
Haha what sad face!
