Happy Blessing Day!




Obviously I am behind but I am doing my best to keep up with this little one and our lives (but I take so many dang pictures)! We had such a fun Christmas and there will be many pics to come of that!

On the 11th of December our little Brynn was blessed.

If you don't know what a baby blessing is in the LDS church, it is a simple ordinance that normally takes place in the chapel during a regular Sunday meeting. The father or a priesthood holder with other priesthood holders gather around the baby. They put one hand underneath and one on the shoulder of the man to their left. The person performing the blessing announces the name of the baby and then gives the child a personal blessing of health, and future development such as education, marriage, etc. It is a sweet thing to experience as a mother as Russ blessed Brynn and her future well being. She is such a happy girl and will be such an example to others around her. I know she is a strong girl and she will accomplish much in her life.

We are so happy to have this little girl in our family. =-)

She wore her sweet ivory dress and was greeted by all her family that day. We were so happy everyone could be there to support her and we felt everyones love for her and Russ and I. We appreciate everyones attendance especially those who traveled to see her. At the end of her blessing when the fathers show off the baby to the congregation, Russ did kind of a "Lion King" Simba move and held her up really high above his head....it was pretty funny......
