“Every member of the church of Christ having children is to bring them unto the elders before the church, who are to lay their hands upon them in the name of Jesus Christ, and bless them in his name” (D&C 20:70).
It was such a beautiful and incredible experience to be surrounded by all those that we love and admire. This beauty was full of smiles (except when she pooped during the blessing and got mad about it ha).
Her daddy and I were moved to tears and the spirit that we all felt was definitely very real and wonderful.

How grateful we are for the love that we have felt in blessing our sweet daughter and the support we have received from all our family and friends. My little family is forever and how sweet that is! I am so happy to belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and have the true and everlasting gospel restored to the earth today. I am grateful for a worthy husband who holds the priesthood and can bless me and my baby. I love him and am so happy to have him by my side.
I loved blessing Lydia at this Christmas time and feeling close to how Mary may have felt holding her sweet baby Jesus in her arms. It was a special connection that I hadn't quite felt before. What a merry merry Christmas!! So happy to be home and to have our families meet our sweet Lydia!
