"And [Jesus] took a child ... in his arms [and] said ... "Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth ... him that sent me."
-Mark 9:36-37
Yesterday we were finally able to bless Claire. It was such a special day for our family! I was proud of myself for crying only twice, even though I felt like crying (happy tears) most of the day :). I made the dress and flower headband she wore and Bryce gave her a beautiful blessing at church. It was nice that we each got to take part in different ways on her special day. We kept it small and just invited our siblings, parents, and grandparents. After we blessed her at church we went to a park and had a dessert table for refreshments. It was so fun having all of our family there to celebrate our little girl with us.

All day long our hearts were so full of gratitude for our sweet daughter and for our wonderful family. Even after we were home and Claire was exhausted (until she finally crashed and took a three hour nap) we couldn't stop beaming and talking about how much fun we'd had. It was a perfect day that I will never forget.
