Blessing Day!!!

We decided that since we had basically all of our family up in Utah, we would do your blessing while we were up there. It was such a special day. Grandma and Grandpa Bear were nice enough to let us do the blessing at their house. It was Easter Sunday. What a great day to have your blessing--the same day that we celebrate the resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we also got to celebrate that blessing of eternal families that our Savior's Atonement made possible. Your dad did such a great job. He was nervous before, and was trying all weekend to think about what he wanted to say. When he did the blessing, it was perfect. You did a great job and looked so beautiful. You weren't the happiest baby that day, but you calmed down during the blessing. That was definitely a tender mercy for your mom and dad. Your dress was beautiful--your Grandma Bear found it and it couldn't have been more perfect for you. I even made your headband--not a great first attempt, but it worked! You had so many family and friends come to see you-we were so grateful that we were able to have it in Utah where we have so many people who love you that were able to come. Addi and the boys even came up from Arizona for the blessing! We are so grateful to have you as part of our eternal family and for the gospel of Jesus Christ that allows us to have that knowledge and blessing--that families are forever. This is some of the most cherished knowledge that we have, and we hope that we can instill in you that desire to know your Savior and to love Him as we do. We love you with all our hearts, Sweet Girl!
