Too beautiful to not share!

Hannah's Blessing Day

Dear Hannah,

Today was a very special day. It was your Blessing Day!

Many of our family, that were able to, drove or flew from far away to be here with you today. Your Grandma and Grandpa Anderson, Nana and Papa Thompson, and Aunt Danielle came all the way from Utah, and your Uncle Chris, Aunt Deb and Paiton came from Michigan. Other members if our family called to wish you well and your Aunt Jenny crocheted a beautiful white blanket for your special day. So many people love you, Hannah! I hope you will always feel that love!

You looked so beautiful today, Hannah. You wore a long white gown and matching bonnet that I have been admiring for almost 7 years! I bought it the very week I found out that I was pregnant with a girl! I was so excited to see you in it! It was stunning with your pretty dark hair and dark eyes and sweet smile. You also wore a silver and pearl bracelet with your name on it that I gave you today.

Standing in the blessing circle were your Daddy, Grandpa Anderson, Papa Thompson, Uncle Chris Christensen, and Eric Palfreyman. (Brother Palfreyman is a good friend who came to help Daddy give you a blessing when you were sick in the hospital.) Daddy gave you your name and a special blessing. I could feel the Spirit telling me that you are a precious Daughter of God. I feel so humbled that He has trusted your Daddy and me to be you parents and raise you here on the Earth. I will try to be the best Mommy I can be for you!

Today I feel especially grateful that Heavenly Father sent you to our family. Someday when you are a mother, you will understand how much love I feel for you and your brothers. It gives me just a small glimpse of the great love our Heavenly Father must have for each of us!

Always know that your Daddy and I are proud of you and love you very much!

Love,

Mommy
