Claire's Blessing

Sunday, May 6, 2012 our little Claire was blessed by Jeremy at our Sacrament Meeting.  Claire had a lot of support and was simply beautiful in her gorgeous dress her Grandma Platt made her.  Jeremy gave her a wonderful blessing (we held our breath until he said her name, not Annie's - then I could relax listen to the sweet words).

Claire was blessed: to remember she was born at this time for a special reason,   to seek out that which is right, to gain as much knowledge as she can, to marry in the temple, to look to the example of her brother and sisters, to follow the example and listen to her parents and other relatives.


It was a beautiful day and fun-filled back at our house afterwards, as we enjoyed our family and friends who came to celebrate Claire's special day.

I'm grateful to Jeremy who honors his priesthood and takes his responsibility seriously.
