Alice and Andrew were blessed on Sunday in my home ward in Soda Springs. We had a great weekend with family, and Alasdair did a wonderful job with the blessings (I was so proud of him — just imagine having to do that twice, back-to-back, your first time!).

Andrew looked so handsome in the Macleod family christening gown. We’re not sure how long it’s been in the family, but Alasdair’s dad, John, wore it 75 years ago, and we know it’s been used dozens of times since then, too, including for Alasdair’s christening.

(We were explaining to my five-year-old nephew, Casen, about christenings, and he got the terminology a little confused. He spent the next little while referring to the babies being “crucified”!)

And Alice looked just precious in the dress that I wore when I was blessed (Maurie and Litia also wore it):

A special part of the day was the Young cousins singing “I Am A Child of God” as a part of the sacrament meeting program. We were so grateful so many of our family made the time and effort to join us on this special day. More pictures below!
