We blessed Christine on November 7, 2010. We were so lucky that my mom flew down to visit us that week and got to be there for the blessing along with Jeff's parents who drove down to be with us too.
My mom sewed Christine's beautiful blessing dress.
For those of you who aren't members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints let me explain what a blessing is: in our church babies are given their name and a preisthood blessing at church. The blessing is usually given by the father if he holds the Melchezidic preisthood. The blessing is like a prayer and the child's name is put on the records of the church. We do not baptize babies, members are not baptized until they can understand the difference between good and evil at the age of 8. We believe that all children under the age of 8 are innocent and saved through the atonement of Jesus Christ.
