The Twins' Baby Blessing

May 5, 2013
  It was such a spiritual day for our family. 

We were so grateful for all of the love and the support that the family showed to us on such a big day for the girls. Oli did such a beautiful job with the girls' blessings. They were both so heartfelt and were meant for that specific child. I am so proud of my husband for being worthy to give our girls their blessings. I am so grateful for the opportunity to be our girls' parents and for the wonderful responsibility to teach our girls about this wonderful Church and the happiness that comes from it. I hope our girls will always know that the Lord is always with them and that following His ways will make them the happiest they will ever be.
Mom and Dad love you girls!

^ Left and Right: Connor Fawcett surrounded by his harem of women haha (in the picture on the right Connor has his hands around Rach and Nicole :) His mother, Cynthia, told him not to go there because they were too old for him (they were born a couple weeks before) :)

I couldn't get over this!! The girls did this pose on their own!! They seem to do this a lot where they do similar poses and such. It was one of the sweetest things! They looked like little angels to me in their dresses (biased mother) :)

 

^ Trick question... which is which? No cheating by looking at their dresses :)

^Left and Right, Top and Bottom: Spotlight on little Rachie- Ray in these next four pictures! Oh our Rachel Louette. She is such a sweet baby. She is very attentive, loooves to stretch, loves being around people, loves being held, always lifting her head everywhere to see things, gives you the biggest smiles and her eyes really light up (and can do a great pout), loves her swing, and is one to make known when she is hungry :)

^Left and Right, Top and Bottom: Spotlight on Nicki- Boo in these next four pictures! Oh our Nicole Isabel. She is such a fun baby. Nicki loves to cuddle, curls up into a little ball while on your chest, looks you right in the eye while you are burping her, likes to lick you or anything by her mouth, loves being held, loves to just look around and play on the mat, and if you work hard enough, will flash you a huge, cheesy smile :)

^ Left: Sleepy Nicole :)

Right: Alert Rachel :)
