Yesterday, December 4, 2011 Amelia was blessed by her Daddy!
She looked so beautiful and Daddy gave her the most beautiful blessing!
We are so grateful to have had some of our family and friends stand in the circle while Andrew blessed her. My dad, Rob Fleming, Edson Appleton, Justin Gahn, Howard Simmons, Jonathan Porchet, & Keith Baker! Thank you all for taking part in her special day!
Amelia wore her fancy headband given to her from her Aunt Sheila. Her dress and blanket were made by her Grandmother (Andrew's Mom) and her slip and bracelet were made by her Mu (My Mom).
I am sad that there is a shadow in this picture, and that Amelia's head is tilted back. Oh well.
Our little Family on Amelia's Blessing Day!
My Mom made Amelia and I matching bracelets! They were beautiful and we love them!
(hint hint... we love them a lot and would like some more to wear to church! hint hint!)
This is the best shot I could get of her in her dress. I will take some more detailed pictured of her blanket and dress and post them soon! They are both so beautiful. Her dress was made from an old wedding dress that was given to Andrew's mother. It is just beautiful and fit her perfectly! The blanket she made was a replica of a blanket Queen Victoria had made for one of her children. The blanket took her almost 5 months to make. When she is finished making it, it has to be soaked and stretched. It is absolutely a labor of love. We are so grateful she uses her talents to bless the lives of her children and grandchildren. We thank you! (we hear that Heather helped as well! Thank you Heather!)
We are so grateful for everyone that was there to make her day so special. Especially for those who traveled! We really appreciate your love and support of Amelia.
We also want to thank my parents for the wonderful luncheon we had at their house afterwords! It was perfect! And to Sarah who helped put it on as well!
We are so blessed to have Amelia in our lives!
Thank you for sharing in our joy!
