Addy's Blessing

Addy was blessed on 1/15/2012. It was such an awesome weekend spent with family. Great Grandma and Grandpa Bateman, as well as Grandma and Grandpa Bateman, flew in for the blessing. Of course by the time that Grandma B (as Skyler likes to call her) got to Florida, I still had not touched the blessing dress that I was going to make Addy. She snapped into action and whipped up this gorgeous heirloom in less than a day! She is such an amazing sewer and we are so amazed at the gorgeous dress that Addy will be able to pass down to her daughter to be blessed in.

Addy was great for the blessing (she was a little fussy, but the cries were nothing compared to what we know she can let out!). She had a lot of family members who came to support her on her special day ... Aunt Patty, Aunt Kat, Rich, Ava, Granmommy and Grandaddy Mitchell, Great Grandma and Great Grandpa B, and Grandma and Grandpa Fletcher! Dad (Brendan) did an amazing blessing. From the blessing, it sounds like she will definitely be involved in mission work and that she will be a shining light and example of the gospel! We are so excited that we are members of the this amazing church and that we have family members that are so supportive of our children :)

Here are some pictures of the beautiful day -
