What do you get on the first Fast Sunday after the birth of two cousins born 8 days apart? Besides one sharp dressed almost-two-year-old?
That's right, a doubly fun blessing day!!
Now that we're in different wards, we had twice as much fun blessing the girls. Paula and LD, along with Miss Lydia and Logan's parents, came to our ward in the morning and we repeated the favor to their ward in the afternoon. In between was a scrumptious brunch prepared by the girls' Mexican grandmother. No, we didn't dine on tortilla espanola or churros. Incredibly there was nary a tortilla in sight. It seems their Mexican blood is running thinner by the minute. Muchas gracias abuela!
Of course, after each meeting we had to take the requisite pictures. Juliana did awesome and her dad didn't do too shabby either.
Will gave Juliana a beautiful blessing. I'm so grateful for Will and his wonderful spirit. Among other things, he blessed Juliana with a sense of humor, which I think is awesome!
Both Juliana and Lydia had the same blessing dress and in an ironic twist, Lydia was actually asleep during these pictures, while Juliana was wide-eyed and awake. Definitely outside the norm and only goes to show that these two lovely ladies are constantly keeping everyone on their toes. One wonders if they didn't plan this out ahead of time. 
Our little angel
We were so glad so much family could come to Juliana's blessing, but we definitely missed those who didn't make it! A special thanks goes to Grandmama Lynn, David, Paul and Autumn for watching Everett while we went to Lydia's blessing. It was so nice to let Everett get in his full nap and it made him a much happier camper for the remainder of the day.

Oh wow! How special today was. That is so cool you sisters could share this sweet day. How fun for the families. It sounds like it was so wonderful(& yummy too)! I think its just so sweet about the two girl cousins being so close. What a great relationship they will have going up. They look so beautiful and sweet together.
I'm so glad so much family and friends could be there. I love all of the pictures and you all look great and beautiful! So sharp for sure. We really like too about having a sense of humor. We are SURE your kids will take after the two of you-they have to, its the best!
Love, Chelsea & John

those are some great pictures of the girls.
Great pictures! I'm trying to figure out who all the people are in the pictures and I'm missing a couple. The girls looks absolutely beautiful and you look great too!
did you guys plan the matching blessing dresses? How fun to have a cousin your exact same age. i wonder if they will have "twin" like behaviors?!? (like knowing what the other is thinking etc.)
AND - you look so stylish - hair make up clothes and all. i miss living with you to bounce your stylishness off on to others. i need some inspiration over here all by my lonesome. :) hehe
Let me just close my remarks by saying how beautiful Juliana looks. I wish I could see you guys.
lots o love -
