Everything went well; there was no pooping or spitting up on her dress and thankfully no crying during the prayer.
Claire is so fortunate to have Erik as her father. He gave a beautiful blessing and I will always remember how strongly I felt the Spirit.
It's amazing how becoming a mother turns you into an emotional wreck. Crying has become almost a daily occurance - the sight of Claire sleeping in her crib, the sound of her laugh, and the look Erik gives her when he sees her smile make me melt. Life is so sacred. Erik not only blessed Claire that day, he blessed our entire family.

(Our family with Erik's parents and Farmor)
(Our family with Erik's grandparents)
(Our family with Erik's siblings and their families)
(Sadly, my siblings couldn't make it as they live out of state. They were with us in our hearts.)
I want to give a big thank you to everyone who helped us out that day and a really BIG thank you to my mom. She spent hours making Claire's blessing dress without even having a pattern! It was absolutely beautiful! Thank you!

I love this post. And I just adore the pics of your beautiful daughter!! She looks so so happy. awwwww. It makes me excited to be having one myself.
It was a very special day for all of us! Erik's blessing was precious and you are both fabulous parents. Claire's dress was probably the most difficult thing I've sewn, but the challenge was worth it. Thank you for the opportunity.
The pictures are so beautiful. I sure wish we were there, but I'm so happy that everything went so well.
Holy cow I so totally forgot about it this last sunday! I'm SOOOOOO sorry! I would have loved to have been there and met this precious bundle! She looks georgous as you all do for sure!
