Emerson's Baby Blessing




This past Sunday Emerson was blessed by her Dad, Chris. We had our close family and friends in attendance, and it was a beautiful blessing. Tammy and Cassidy were kind enough to write down the key points of her blessing for me, something I wish I had done with Dawson. Here are some of the things she was blessed with:
-She is a special daughter of God
-She will be blessed with faith throughout her life
-She was blessed to know of her Savior and His Atonement and to be close to Him through her life
-Blessed to know her parents love her so much
-Blessed to be valiant, faithful, keep the commandments, and be baptized
-She will be blessed with a righteous young man to take her to the Temple and treat her like a queen
-Blessed that when the time comes she will teach her family the Gospel
-Blessed with knowledge
Afterward, everyone came to our house to eat and socialize! We had tons of food, everyone was kind enough to offer to bring something...and I mean everyone...I told some people not to worry about it and we STILL had tons of food leftover. Thank you to everyone who came and helped out and showed your love and support!!
PS My friend Summer let me borrow her daughter, Reece's blessing dress. Her Mom MADE it! Amazing huh? It's beautiful and I thought Em was gorgeous in it!
