Kaitlyn's blessing day!

Kaitlyn's blessing was a great day. We had family from everywhere come and enjoy the weekend.
Kaitlyn's dress has a story..... Kenny has been carrying around this blessing dress for 16 years. It was made by a member in his first area of his mission in Dublin, Ireland. He baptized this members son and she made this dress and told Kenny that someday he would have a daughter to bless and this dress would bring blessing and memories of the people of Ireland. It is more like a wedding dress. We love it and we love it more because it is 100% hand made from Ireland. The experiences of Ireland meant a lot to Kenny and our family, so when we had Kaitlyn we had her blessed in the dress. We love all of our Irish friends.
