Ava's blessing day...

(all of us in the church foyer afterwards)

Matt did a beautiful job with the blessing, as always.

He blessed her...

~to stay close to Heavenly Father~

~to live her life worthy to always have the Holy Ghost~

~to stay close and become best friends with her siblings~

~to be baptized~

~that when the time comes, she will choose a partner who will take her to the temple to be sealed for eternity~

~to enjoy the blessings of the temple~

~to know that she can always come to Mom & Dad for guidance and direction~

~to be an example and a leader~

~to always live the standards of the Church~

He was SO nervous. He did great. I got a little teary.

We had a little get-together afterwards.

My side.

Matt's side.

So nice.

Thanks to everyone who came. We love our families so much, and appreciate all their love and support. It was such a special day for us, and we feel so blessed and thankful to have so much family to share it with.

I love days like this
