Blessing Day- The Babies Are Named

On November 30th we blessed the babies in our church Relief Society room. Because of RSV season we weren't able to do the blessing on Fast Sunday in the chapel. We were going to do the blessing in our home but there were so many visitors they wouldn't all fit in our house. So, we decided to do it privately in the Relief Society room at church. All of the babies were on their best behavior. Jakob was a little fussy but over all very good. They were all little angels!
