It was so wonderful to have family here for Eva's blessing. My parents were here, Tyler and Anna, and Kim came up with her kids. (Morgan had to work). THANKS Kim for taking such great pictures!
Eva has been such a GREAT baby that I thought for sure she would be a silent little angel during her blessing...I was WRONG! She was the female version of Luke and cried through the WHOLE blessing. Poor Matt! I was again so impressed with him and his ability to remain cool, calm, and collected and he gave a beautiful blessing. One good thing is that Eva wore herself out during the blessing and slept throught the rest of church! :)
It's so funny because Anna jotted down some of the main points of the blessing and my good friend Beckie did also. As I looked back at Gavin's both Anna and Beckie took notes then too! So yes they are consistently awesome, thoughtful and wonderful friends/sister-in-law. Here are some of the things that were mentioned in the blessing:
- You will be a joy to your family, your brothers and sister
- You will feel the influence of the Holy Ghost
- You will be happy, strong and healthy
- You will know that your parents love you
- You will be able to make correct decisions
- You will have a testimony of Jesus Christ
- You will seek to make decisions that will lead you to the temple
- You will know that you are loved by your Heavenly Father
- You will be a wonderful mother and live a fruitful life
- You will be blessed with all the things Heavenly Father has in store for you.
We were missing the rest of my family and Matt's family. It's times like today that make the miles between us so hard! We love and miss all of you.

Such a wonderful day and such a special new little Rose - Rosebud! Matt did give her a thoughtful, sweet blessing! We all could hear it and I know her little heart was touched also!
Oh Sara, it breaks my heart that we all couldn't be there on this special day. I'm glad it was a great day and so many of your family could be there. You are lucky to have them all somewhat close. Glad she's being a good baby for you. Matt you look like a proud daddy in the picture, sure are proud of you darlin!!!!

Oh, my heart is really aching, now! How we missed being there on yours and Eva's special day. We thought about you all day. It certainly is these times that make the distance between us really painful! We are looking so forward to January when we can hug and kiss you all and spend quality time together. The pics Kim took are so amazing! Eva is such a beautiful little spirit inside and out. Thanks again for dressing her in her blessing dress again that night so we could enjoy her. I love Skype!
