Tanner's blessing day

A few weeks ago we blessed Tanner in church. His dad gave a beautiful blessing and we loved to see family. To start a new tradition, my mother made a boy and a girl blessing outfit out of her wedding dress for all of her grandchildren to wear. I didn't remember it seeming too big for Hunter, so I was very worried that "Giant Baby Tanner" wouldn't fit into it. He is QUITE a bit bigger than Hunter was, and he is two weeks older than Hunter was at his blessing. But he fit into it and the only thing that was snug were the sleeves, apparently Tanner has a little Popeye in him (maybe its because his mom likes spinach). It was a great weekend full of family, food and fun!

This is so much fun. What a great idea from your mom too. I've heard people do that with their wedding dresses, but never have known anyone that actually has. Little Tanner is so cute. Congrats to everyone on such a special event!

No shocker Natalie was demanding where everyone was to be sitting. Looks like a nice weekend.
