Kennedy was blessed on May 6, 2012. One of my favorite things about the day was that Kennedy wore the same blessing dress that I did and my Mother made the dress!! I had looked on line at blessing dresses and they were so expensive and I didn't really love anything and then I remembered that I really liked my blessing dress. So I took a trip to my Moms so Kennedy could be fitted :) My Mom fixed the elastics in the sleeves and hand washed the dress for me. The dress was absolutely perfect. Thank you Mom!! JD did a great job as normal and it turned out to be a great day with lots of family!!
We LOVE our happy little girl!!
Another special thing about the day was Kennedy's bow. One day in church we sat behind my friend Kristen Taylor and her family. Her little girl had the cutest bow in her hair. I asked if she had made it and then she offered to make Kennedy's bow for her blessing. I was caught off guard by her generosity and kindness she has 5 kids which include twin boys who are 6 months old. I didn't give her much instruction just that it be white and a little over the top. It couldn't have turned out better. I love, love, love it!! Not only did she make her bow but I also borrowed a ton of ceiling decorations, a platter and drink dispenser. She made a lot of my wishes for the day a reality!! Thank you, thank you Kristen you are one amazing lady.
My sweet Dad came out early before the blessing so my little sister could do my make-up (thank you Brittany)!! Kennedy got a little fussy so I handed her off to my Dad and the next thing I knew she was fast asleep in his arms. My Dad is a great Grandpa. Whenever we are around he always has a herd of grandkids coming with him to feed the chickens, collect the eggs or go feed the ducks in the pond. He is rarely alone on the tractor when we are there either. He is great to play with them and would do anything for them. One day I called him up because it was Dad's & donuts day at school and JD couldn't go so my Dad took Kaden. Another day I called because Kaden got Blaze tickets from school and JD couldn't go so my Dad took Kaden, Tyler and Jaxson to the game. The boys loved it. Thanks Dad for all you do!!
