Wyatt's Blessing....


Here are Wyatt's baby blessing pictures!
We blessed Wyatt in November, and were very happy to have Jason's Dad come to town for the week to visit, as well as Doug and Sharon and their beautiful family, and a few close friends.
It was a full house!

I felt kinda bad that I didn't plan very well for Joshua's baby blessing.
He was going to wear the christening gown that my mom, Uncle Keith, and my sister and I wore for our christenings, but Jason was very adamant that his son would not wear a dress....

Here's Claire wearing the gown.... ok, so it is pretty girly, and it's not the 1940's anymore, so I guess he was justified.
and therefore we put Josh in a fleece snowman outfit for the blessing.... it was all we could find!!!
Here's Josh in his snowman outfit... 2 months after the blessing. Um ya, because we also didn't take any pictures on his blessing day.... mother of the year award.

well, it was white at least.

And HERE is Wyatt!!! In a REAL blessing outfit.... he even had little shoes :)
And he is lying on the blessing blanket Aunt Lori made for Josh as a baby.
(Claire used the blanket too! - thanks Lori!)

Here we were looking at the family picture we took with the whole Gilbert family
when Josh was only 2 weeks old....
Our happy family of 5!

This picture is for Grandma.... 2 of her boys together again

Beautiful! I wish I was there! I miss you and you're gorgeous family soooo much! It's been too long since we've been to Michigan. We'll have to make a trip soon.

I love Claire in your Christening gown, it is gorgeous, and Josh and Wyatt look very handsome in their white clothes. I love the little booties on Wyatt!

I'm so glad you finally posted! Very cute pictures, I am glad he didnt wear the dress though. He looks very cute and very chunky. You look really good too!
