Easter Blessings

When Rachel smiles her little toothless grin our hearts melt. When she laughs we squeal with delight. Its amazing how far we'll go to make her happy. The biggest wish of my heart is that she will know more joy and laughter than pain. I am so grateful that she got to receive a blessing on Easter given by Cameron with the help of her grandpas, uncles, and other worthy men who all came together to ask Heavenly Father for special gifts to help her be successful and happy during this life. We were fortunate to share this experience with family and friends.

Rachel was so sweet. I was petrified that she would just cry through the whole blessing and make it difficult for Cameron to concentrate. Just before church began she started to fuss a little and I was just pacing and rocking her. She finally went to sleep two minutes before I passed her off to Cameron and then she opened her eyes again and I wished him good luck. Cameron held her and the other men surrounded her in a circle. She remained quite for the entire prayer and I was relieved that she had gone back to sleep. When Cameron held her up at the end to present her to the entire congregation lo and behold she was awake and had been through the entire thing. She didn't fuss a bit but just looked around. That's our girl...so calm and peaceful.
