On February 5th Evangeline was blessed in Modesto (Jeff's hometown).
We were extremely blessed to have so much family able to come see the blessing.
My parents came from NC...
Her Uncle Mike was able to make it from Alabama...
Her Aunt Melissa came from Utah, and Aunt Hannah and Uncle Travis came too :)
She had a gorgeous blessing gown that was made by Grandma Sally, who wanted to be there, but due to an unexpected illness, she was still recovering. She was dearly missed.
Evangeline's gown looked better on her than it did on Jeffrey.
She tried her hardest to be a good sport for all the picture taking...
And even let her mom take a picture of the booties I knit (thanks to Grammy).
We enjoyed a wonderful family filled weekend with yummy food provided by Grammy and even a special Superbowl feast later on that day.
Jeffrey was able to give the blessing in the bishop's office and it was a special experience for all of us. The blessing was perfect - everything a parent would ever hope for. Evangeline knew it was special too as she listened, watched, and cooed at her Daddy during the blessing. The Spirit was undeniably strong and it seemed to fill that small little room. I am so grateful for the Holy Ghost and that we are able to have these unforgettable events in our lives. I love having these little moments that feel like a little piece of heaven on earth.
It was a special day for Evangeline that she may not remember, but everyone who was there will :)
