Today Kennedy Sharlan Clawson received a name and a blessing! What a great experience it was. She looked so precious in the dress my mom sewed for her. She was so alert and awake during the blessing, but wasn't fussy at all. Tim said she was being so cute that the priest holding the microphone for him started laughing at her faces. Tim did a wonderful job with the blessing and I couldn't help but feel the love the Lord has for this special little girl. I know she is a choice spirit and I am so grateful that she came to our home.The choir also sang during sacrament meeting so I felt like I had the opportunity to participate in the day as well. It was sad not to have all the family at her blessing, but it was nice not to have to feed everyone after. (I don't think our apartment would have accommodated half of our family) But Tim's parent's Les and Bev were here to share this experience which was very nice.
Of course we took a million pictures so here are as many as I had the patience to sit here while they upload. Yea Kennedy!!!
I can't decide which animal noise to make at the first picture. Should I be a bowing giraffe or trumpeting elephant? Seriously, Kennedy looked beautiful today. I'm glad you guys had such a wonderful, special day!
