Reagan was blessed on November 26th. We took advantage of Brooks' family being in town because of Thanksgiving.
Everyone gathered in Grandma and Grandpa Burr's living room, and a small lunch was served afterward (thanks to both of our awesome moms).
...the entire experience turned out beautifully.
Reagan was dressed in my own blessing dress used 22 years ago (almost to the exact day)
After our Bishop welcomed everyone, a prayer was said, and a hymn was sung (which actually turned out to be pretty funny. The hymn was "Love at Home"...but no one knew all the verses, so there was a lot of humming going on). Then, all the men gathered around my sweet baby, and Brooks gave her a beautiful blessing. My grandma Beth held my hand the entire time.
That her family loved her.
That she will grow up and have joy in the Gospel.
And that, most importantly, her Heavenly Father sent her to us because He knew that she would not only bless our lives, but the lives of so many people throughout her life.
Many more sacred sentiments were said, and Reagan stayed perfectly still the entire time. It was a precious experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life.
