Carter’s blessing

Carter was blessed today at church by his daddy. Grandpa Anderson, Grandpa Dewey, Bishop Ted Beal, and Brother Jacob Brown (our home teacher) were all in the circle. We were so glad to have our parents here for the special event.

Grandma Anderson made Carter’s vest and shorts out of my wedding dress (just like she made Raine’s blessing gown from my dress). There weren’t many large pieces left on the dress, hence the shorts rather than pants.

I love that my kids are wearing my dress when they are blessed. It symbolizes the eternal bonds we share as a family — I wore the dress when I was sealed to DJ and now because of that sealing our kids are sealed to us forever. It makes my heart smile every time I look at them.

Ahhh, my handsome boys!

    That is a great picture of DJ and Carter! And yes they certainly are handsome! I also love the picture of Carter in his blessing clothes. And I really liked the way you tied in the blessing clothes, your wedding dress and eternal families — I’m so glad we were able to be there for the special day.
