Lucy's Blessing Day

Getting Lucy Dressed in White
One of my favorite opportunities as a mother of 4 girls,
has been to dress each of my girls in their individual blessing dresses.
It is so sweet to bathe them and dress them in white,
in preparation for their special blessing.
I am so grateful for James, and for the
worthy Priesthood holder he is.
He gave Lucy a beautiful baby blessing!
We choose Lucy's name, knowing that Lucy means light. We named her Grace because of God's Grace in sending us a healthy, beautiful baby girl. We are so grateful she is apart of our family!

(Ella 3, Kate 5, Abby 7)


A day of traditions:
  • Each of our girls have their own blessing dress. Abby was blessed in my dressed, being the oldest daughter. Each of the other girls have their own dresses.
  • Each of the girls were blessed in this white blanket I brought home from Bethlehem, when I went on BYU Study Abroad.
  • Grammy made each of the girls a bonnet to be blessed in. When the girls are ready to be married, we will cut the ties and turn the blessing bonnet into a handkerchief to take to the temple.
  • Grammy gave us these sweet booties, and Abby, Kate, Ella and Lucy have all worn them on their blessing day.

James is so grateful for his brothers, Brian and Dan.
They have a bond that goes deeper than basketball
(although they play a lot).
It is so fun to live near each other and see them often!
