Oh Blessed Day


MilaBelle was given a name and father's blessing yesterday by her daddy. She wore the same dress that my father held me in his arms almost 28 years ago and gave me such a blessing. I'm so thankful for the restored gospel in our lives, for the power of the priesthood and for a worthy husband who holds it. We want so much for a beautiful little girl and I know the Lord does too.

She looks like a little angel!! Make sure you journal what was said in the blessing. I know she will love to read what her daddy was inspired to bless her with! :-)

What a gorgeous photo! What a special moment when your baby gets blessed and especially that your daughter was able to wear the same dress her mommy wore. Very precious and she is so smiley.
