Blessing Day

 Siena and Aria were blessed on Sunday.  We had such a nice day.

It started out an hour earlier than normal since it was Daylight Savings and obviously the girls didn't remember that they needed to sleep an extra hour.

We had family from both sides here to support and celebrate the blessings.  Everyone in our ward seemed excited to finally get to see the girls and although this won't always happen, they were perfect the entire time.  They didn't even cry during their blessings.

Shane gave them both very nice blessings and some good things were said about each of them.  One of my favorite things that was said is that they each have already been given a companion and friend for each other.  I hope they always are good friends and stay close to each other.

Afterwards we had a nice lunch back at our house and enjoyed spending time with family and friends.  It was a nice day and I never once had to feed or take care of either girl as they were passed from person to person, mostly their aunts, all day long.  The girls were exhuasted at the end of the day but it was a good day.

Their outfits:
Dresses - Courtesy of Aunt Lori and us (we bought one to match the one Lori let us borrow)
Bracelets - given to the girls from Grandma Goold
Socks - Made by Aunt Michelle
Shoes - Made by Aunt Margene

They looked gorgeous and so fun that so many people contributed to their outfits.

I told you the girls were perfect for their blessings, well that ended as soon as we got out the camera to take pictures.  Nevertheless, here are pictures from the day.
