Grace's Baby Blessing

Today, we gave our sweet Grace Lorraine a name and a blessing at Church. Travis performed the blessing, with our Bishop, my cousin Richard, and Travis' dad, brother-in-law Mark, Grandpa Larson, and Uncle Ray joining him in the circle. It was a wonderful, sweet blessing, and an overall joyful experience, sweetend by the support of all of our family and friends. Thank you to everyone who was able to come!

Here are some pictures of our beautiful Grace girl in her blessing dress:














Her pretty socks and shoes, which she proudly showed off to her great Aunt Candace at Church =)


We even got some great smiles out of her while we were taking the pictures! In fact, she's been quite the smiley girl all day long; maybe she has an idea of what a special day this has been for her.










After Church, we had a lunch with everyone who came for the blessing at our Grandma and Grandpa Larson's place. It was SO nice to have this opportunity to see and visit with our loved ones before we move out East later this month. Thank you again everyone for coming, and for supporting us and visiting with us! We love you and will miss living so close to you!

You captured the perfect emotions of Baby Grace on camera. She looks content, peaceful, grateful for wise, loving parents, and most of all like the beautiful little angel that she is. What a blessing she is in all of our lives. Travis, through the Holy Melchezidek Priesthood gave a very sacred, precious blessing.
Love,
Mom & Dad H.
