Anders' Baby Blessing

We were so lucky that we got to bless Anders with so much family around us and in such a special environment.  The love I felt from family members for Anders and our little family at the blessing was overwhelming and really made the whole day special.  I am so glad that both sides of our family got to be part of this special occasion and I am grateful that Drew was able to use this opportunity to see all his brothers and dad again after being gone on his deployment.

Anders Rigby Wilkinson was blessed by his dad and had in the circle, a great-grandpa, both grandpas and both of his uncles from Drew's side.  We were also lucky enough to have two of his great-grandmas there, one grandma, two aunts and one uncle in attendance.  The spirit there was so special.  Here are just some of the pictures that I took on that special day.

Alden kept finding new toys to play with.  He was really excited when he found this baby doll to take care of.

Then he found a football and was super excited about that.

Anders all dressed for his blessing but we had to stick the bib on so he didn't mess up the outfit too quickly.

Then as soon as we did take the bib off for pictures he spit up.  Oh well, we tried.

Our whole family!

Alden insisted on giving Anders a kiss. So sweet!

We love our families so much!

I love his smiles!  He is such a happy boy.

Me and my sweet little boy!

Tired but content and happy after a long day of family; just like Mommy.
