Blessing Sage

We are up in the Nutah (as Emery would say) visiting family and getting a little vacation in before Brian starts his new job next week. We decided that while we were here we would take advantage of having much of our family here and bless little Sage. It was a beautiful day and so wonderful to spend with family.

*WARNING* - Lots of pictures coming up!

Our little family. Emery is such a good poser.

Thanks to my sister Kristin for letting us use your house for the event.

Our friends the Lloyds also blessed their baby earlier that day. It was fun to have them come and to be able to see their cutest little guy!

My family can't get together without lots of yummy food.


Proud grandparents.


Me & Sage with my UT sisters - Jenni, Amy, Kristin, and Emily.

Can you tell we like babies? This picture made me laugh because I didn't even know it was taken until I scrolled through the pictures later. Yes, we are really that cheesy and not even posing.

Emery and her cute little Anderson cousin's all wore white dresses - and we didn't even plan it.

Then we added the latest Anderson babies - Haven and Sage.

Glad we got to share this day with family and friends - sorry that not all my family could be there. We love you little Sagie and we are so happy we got to bless you because you have already blessed us so much.

Glad you guys had a great day! Love all the pictures...especially the one with everyone cooing at the baby, that's too funny.

Sad that WE didn't get to be at the blessing...you had to go up to Utah to do it. Just for that I'm flying all the way to Oregon when our next baby is born. In 10 years.

She is gorgeous! (And I think these are some of the neatest blessing pictures I've ever seen. Where did you find her dress?) Anyway, we wish we could have been in UT too to celebrate with you.

Your hair looks fab.

Your daughters are gorgeous. I'm glad you had little Sage first because it is getting me excited for my own little baby girl's arrival.

I can do this, right?

How could you just have had a baby, you look great!!! Remind me not to post pics of myself after this baby!

Chante said...

I wish I could have been there! I miss all of the family gatherings that we would have with all the yummy food. I am realizing here in AZ it doesn't happen too often and that I took it for granted when I lived there! Dang! Anyways, I love you and Amy's twinner dresses (right?) Where did you get them?

C Crane said...

Hey Alison
I saw some of Sage's blessing pics on the Jensen family website.... your Mom put them on there. I had to come and check out the rest of them. :) Looks like you had a wonderful day with lots of family around! Sage is beautiful and I'm glad she has been healthy since going back to the hospital so early in her life. Your family is so cute! :)
