On April 25th little Evelyn Jane was given her name and a blessing. For her blessing dress she was able to wear her Aunt Michelle's blessing dress that was made by Grandma Empie (my mom). Her dad gave the blessing, with the help of both grandpa's, John's brother and 2 of my brothers. It was great to have so much family together, but we missed those that live so far away!
Evelyn was amazing the whole day, she hardly cried at all. And little John loved playing with his cousins and being the entertainer that he is.
I made sure the camera was close by at all times, hoping to get family pictures. It didn't seem like such an hard task on little Johns' blessing day, and I wanted to have some comparable photos for Evelyn. Apparently having 2 children makes picture opportunities almost impossible. I'm thankful for what we got though.
Here is most of my family that was there...little John must have been downstairs with his cousin.... Unfortunately we didn't get a photo with all of John's family, and here is the only photo we got of the four of us -
Yes, little John is in pajamas. I guess we can tolerate church clothes for only so long. And as my mom said before she left, I look like I needed a nap! I think we could all use one of those!
