Truly Blessed: Henry Eric's Blessing Day (2/19/17)

We blessed our sweet Henry on  Sunday, February 19th, 2017 in the  Grandview 5th Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints  in  Provo, Utah

In the LDS culture, babies are given a name and a blessing by their fathers and it's a pretty special day for the child and family. 

You can read about Hunters Blessing day HERE and Hayden's Blessing day HERE. 

This year, we were so blessed to be surrounded with so many of our friends and family to celebrate our sweet baby Henry.  Kevin gave little Henry the sweetest blessing during our Sacrament worship meeting and was surrounded by many other important priesthood holders. 

The celebration then continued with a luncheon at our home.

We were so fortunate to have both our parents in town from California and Washington along with all my sisters and Kevin's sister Melissa. It was a HUGE surprise when my sister Aubrey and her family surprised us from South Dakota and showed up the morning of the blessing!  Happy Tears all morning!  We loved all the extra time we had playing with our families! 

*Disclaimer: The first photos of Henry were taken almost 2 months after his blessing... because I'm a terrible mother and forgot to take individual photos with his sign on that day, and because you know, it wasn't busy or anything!*
