Kaylee and Cambree's Blessing Day

Today, Travis gave Kaylee and Cambree a name and a blessing at Church. It was a very special day for our family.
 
Our family of 6!
 
We were so happy and grateful to have both sets of grandparents there, and to have both of our be dads in the circle for their blessings. The other priesthood holders in the circle were Travis' fellow residents, Dave Zarkou, Austin Kramer, and Morgan Kizzar, and our bishop, Bishop Wait.

After we got home, we did a little photo shoot of Kaylee and Cambree in the beautiful dresses and bonnets my cousin Lori Coffin made for them (with the onesies and slips that my aunt Jane Wadsworth had made underneath). It was SO special to have the twins wear outfits that my family members had made. We were touched that they would make them for us, and really felt their love and support. :)

Our sweet Cambree Rose:

Cambree, your dad gave you your name, Cambree Rose Holloway, and through the priesthood blessed you that you will know and feel the love of your Savior throughout your life. He blessed you with a sharp mind and healthy body, so you will have the health and energy to do those things that you would like to do here on Earth. He blessed you to follow the examples of your sisters and your parents. Also, that you would cherish the gospel teachings you will receive at home and at Church and that those teachings will provide a solid foundation for you. He blessed you that you will be able to understand the Atonement and find strength in it. Also, that you will know how much your parents love you and will be able to develop a special relationship with them. Finally, he blessed you that you will one day meet a special priesthood holder and go with him to the temple and create a family of your own, as well as with any other blessings Heavenly Father would have you receive.



Travis snapped his fingers to get her to turn her head and she gave him the biggest smiles in return!




 


 
 
And sweet Kaylee Noel:
 
Kaylee, you were blessed first. Your dad gave you your name, Kaylee Noel Holloway, and with emotion in his voice, gave you a blessing from Heavenly Father. He blessed you that you would have a love for the gospel and for your Savior. Also, that you will come to understand your infinite worth and the power of prayer. He blessed you that you would develop a love for the scriptures and (again for) the Savior. He also blessed you with peace, knowing that you will be safe as long as you keep the commandments. He blessed you to follow the example of your sisters, and that you would develop a special relationship with your parents, and cherish the relationship you have with them as you grow. He blessed you that you would be able to share the gospel with those you meet. Also, that you would one day meet a worthy priesthood holder, marry him in the temple, and start a family of your own. Finally, he blessed you that you would feel God's love and know how special you are, along with any other blessings that Heavenly Father would have you receive.

 







You love to move your arms!


 
 
 We love our sweet twins and are so glad they are a part of our family!
