Dawson's Blessing

We blessed Dawson on May 1st.  He was just over 2 weeks old so he was still pretty small.  I knew it was going to be hard to find him a blessing outfit because of his size, but I bought one I thought might work.  Well, when we got home and I put it next to him, it was evident it was going to be way to big for him.  I was telling my mom how huge it was when my niece overheard and relayed the message to my sister-in-law.  So, she called me and said she still had Chantz's from when he was blessed and it was a newborn instead of 0-3 months.  She brought it down and we decided to use it instead.  It worked out perfect and I'm glad she had it because we wouldn't have been able to find Dawson in the one I bought. 



It was fun to get to bless our little guy with his future friends.  We have been friends with the Wilkins since they moved here.  Brother Wilkins was our seminary teacher.  Gary and Kristina Brown blessed their baby, Kline, too.  Brennen's parents are good friends with the Browns, so it was fun to get to bless our babies together!

I can't believe we didn't get pictures with either of Dawson's grandparents.
We got the great-grandparents but missed his grandpa and grandma Black
and grandpa and grandma Orton.  Overall, it was a great day and we're so thankful for the blessing Dawson is to us.
