KEVIN AND SHAUNA ROBINS: The Blessing of Taylor Lyn Bradshaw

Today, Sunday, May 6, 2012, was a crisp, clear beautiful sunny day. A perfect day to bless a beautiful baby girl! Taylor Lyn Bradshaw was blessed by her father Mark today. The circle of Priesthood holders present for this special occasion was so large I wondered if every man would actually be able to participate. It is such a wonderful problem to have!

This event was weeks in the planning. First was the finding of the dress! A princess needs a proper gown. It was long, white, and very lacy. Then there was the bow, "ruffle bum", and satin slippers. Finally there was the bracelet, blinkie with bling and the matching binkie clip. Katie and I spent several days compiling this ensemble! Then there was the photo shoot! Every event needs its pictures to secure it in your memory! What a beautiful little girl Taylor is!

Taylor's Blessing Dress

You can't have a party without cake--so what better for a blessing day than a diaper cake complete with all the essentials needed for a princess!

Since we would be celebrating in the backyard we made tissue pom poms to decorate the area!

And we spent several days trying new food ideas. Here are the cake pops we made--they disappeared quickly and were a real party hit!

We even had a fruit baby! It was darling and delicious on a warm spring day!

After sharing a delicious meal with family and friends it was time for the photos to be taken! Everyone protests a bit but when all is said and done--the photos are what make the events a memory!
