Natalie's Blessing

While we were in Utah for Christmas we were able to bless Natalie. It was such a great day. She looked like an angel and didn't cry at all during the blessing! Cyrena cried all through hers. :) David's grandparents were able to come and it was so wonderful that Natalie's great-grandfather could be in the circle. Afterward David and I were able to express our feelings about Natalie. I was honest and said how hard it's been for me (especially the hormones) but how truly grateful I am for a Heavenly Father who hears and answers our prayers. David expressed similar sentiments about how much we wanted this baby, especially through the losses we experienced and that the Lord has a plan for each of us. Later, we celebrated Cyrena's birthday and had some yummy cake. She was spoiled of course, everyone did way too much. It was a special day.

That is so neat that you were able to bless the baby in Utah with all your family!! Although that meant we didn't get to be in on the fun. ;D I am so happy for you guys. You're such a gret little family and PD & I are so blessed to know you. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas and the Happiest of New Years. Love ya girl!
