First White Dress

Quinn finally got to wear her first white dress yesterday for her blessing. February was such a busy month for us so we had to wait till the first sunday in March to bless her. I was a bit stressed the dress wouldn't fit but crisis averted it fit like a dream. Quinn was blessed in the dress that my Grandma Wilde made for my sisters and I to be blessed in. I seriously am in love with it and have been dreaming of blessing my little girl in it for a long time. We used a white blanket also made by my Grandma Wilde. Quinn had lots of family come to her blessing. Tyler's parents and Brooke and Payton were able to come up Saturday night and we enjoyed a meal at Red Robin and the ACAC final basketball game that Nait won. Elise and Tim drove up from Calgary and Tannis and Janna came as well. We had so many friends there to support us. Tyler did an amazing job on the blessing and even being the emotionless robot he is shed a few tears. It was so great to hear him bless her with the strength to be an example to those around her and to be smart and become educated because those are two things I really want for her. It was amazing to hear him speak of grandparents who love her and especially those who were watching her from beyond the veil. Its at times like these...the happy occasions when family is all together that I seem to miss my Dad the most but I know he was there and he loves Quinn as much as we do. In the circle we had Tyler, Quinn's Grandpa Dudley, Uncle Payton, Uncle Tim and two of our close friends Jordan Henrie and Nick Famulak. After the blessing we had a delicious meal cooked by my mom of funeral potatoes and ham. Quinn managed to have a blow-out during pictures and even got some on the dress but we quickly washed it and it looks like future grandkids will still be able to wear the dress. After dinner we all hung out and visited before everyone had to head home. It was a great day!
