Blessing Day

This morning we blessed you at church. All our family close by and many friends joined us to celebrate you and the joy you've brought in to our lives. 

Your father gave you a beautiful blessing with the help of Bishop Keys, Grandpa Pinsent and Grandpa Persson, Great Grandpa Atwood, Uncle Jordan and Uncle Logan and Great Uncle Allan.

You were blessed to be close to your Father in Heaven and savior Jesus Christ and to develop a relationship with them throughout your life. You were blessed to be obedient and righteous and to have a personality that will draw others to you so that they may see the light of Christ through your example. You were blessed to be soft spoken and kind, virtuous and tender. 

It was amazing for me to listen to these things being said of my daughter. Your Heavenly Father has a plan for you Cecelia and you have a great big life ahead of you. You will feel love and joy and peace. Sometimes things will be hard, but always know that you have parents who love you, family who care for you, a Father in Heaven who is always looking out for you and Jesus Christ who is always close by. You are a beautiful girl with a lovely spirit. We are so blessed to call you ours.

Your granny (mom's mom) made this beautiful dress for your for your special day. The sash around the middle has lace from Mommy's wedding dress on it.

This is Lucy. She is about 3 months older than you. Mommy bought her that dress as a gift on her blessing day, and I bought the same one to save for when you came because I loved it so much. You were matching today!

This is one of Daddt's best friends, Tyson. His baby boy Enzo is only two weeks older than you. We would like you to be friends.

This is Enzo's mommy, Sarah. She has been a good friend to Mommy since we met.
