Blessing

I love baby blessings. I love being together as a family.

We blessed Maggie on a gorgeous sunny day in Liberty, UT along with her cousin Weston. Cameron and Sarah's ward graciously let us bless both our babies on the same Sunday while a missionary spoke before her departure, and another missionary spoke upon his return! It was a full house to say the least. In a beautiful way.  The meeting was powerful in the messages given and the Spirit felt. I love missionaries and their testimony. I love baby blessings and the immediate feeling of peace, love, wholeness--the Spirit. Reverence.

Superstars Cameron and Sarah hosted a lunch for both families! I love catching up with everyone over lovely food.

It is a beautiful and reverent sight to see worthy priesthood holders encircle a baby and bestow a blessing upon her. The priesthood is a power given by God to worthy men to give blessings in the name of Christ to us here on earth. I have such reverence for Corey who holds this priesthood and blesses our babies with the most tender of blessings.

Both Cameron and Corey gave sweet blessings. I am thankful each is recorded in Heaven for mothers who intend to write down every precious word; yet, have to referee their other little ones. Hopefully I can write down those words when all the kids are asleep, and I don't fall asleep the minute the house is quiet.

There is nothing more pure.

Sweet blessings. Corey and I always seem to bless our little ones in the winter. So new. Clean. Fresh. Symbolic.

As sisters, it's been fun to watch Weston and Maggie share milestones. Thank you Sarah {and Mom whose birthday happened to be the same Sunday} for sharing this blessed milestone.

Maggie looked so sweet in the dress both Elsie and I wore. You melt our hearts, beautiful Maggie.
