Sweet Hazel turned four! She is a delight and a joy! She is cheerful, positive, feminine, and quick to obey. She likes coloring, making paper crafts, pretending to be Elsa from Frozen, loving on Elias, helping me and she started sounding out words just before her birthday. She is such a precious girl and I love her so much! She lights up my world.
Elias Grant was blessed by Aaron, my dad, my uncle Neal, and a few close friends in church. It was a beautiful blessing that helped me feel Heavenly Father's love for Elias and gave me eyes to see the wonderful potential he has in his life ahead. It was very special to have my parents and aunt and uncle here with us.
I love this little boy and my wonderful husband who blessed him.
I've made blessing outfits for all of my babies. It's been an act of love for me to put my time and effort into creating their white outfits for their special days. I have two little white dresses and one little white romper from the older kids. It came down to the week before Elias' blessing and I had the fabric and pattern, but not the time to make it. In an effort to simplify and reduce stress, I decided not to make the blessing outfit. Elias would wear the one I made for Carter. However, when Friday rolled around, I realized that I couldn't let this one go. It's been a special tradition for me to make these outfits for my babies. If I had only three little outfits...it would feel like an incomplete collection, and a failure, of sorts, to me. So I decided to work like a madwoman and sew Elias' blessing outfit. Aaron was supportive. He was willing to put aside other plans and take care of meals while my parents took the older kids out for the day. I sewed like crazy, far into the night Friday night. And continued sewing on Saturday. I finished it Saturday afternoon. Now I have my complete collection of four little white blessing outfits, to remember their special days and how small they once were.
He is precious, sweet, squishy and heavenly!
Caught reading on a relaxed Sunday afternoon.
These brothers love each other so much. Carter is sweet to Elias and Elias thinks Carter is so fun and funny.
Sweet, sweet, sweet!
