Seeing my baby being blessed was another huge milestone I've been dreaming about for years. I've known who I would ask to be in the circle for years! It was pretty much everything I'd imagined, except two of my brothers were missing. One is still in training and one got bad directions and the GPS didn't work right, he showed up just after the blessing. He and I stood outside crying for awhile about that, I was so sad that he just barely missed it, especially after he tried so hard to be there.
Other than that, it was absolutely perfect. I loved looking up and seeing my husband, dad and brothers holding my baby and blessing her. I loved taking pictures afterwards. I loved sharing it with family and friends who know how long we've been waiting for this. I loved the promises made to her in the blessing. I loved that she got to wear her great-great grandfather's christening gown. I loved that she was so well behaved!
One thing that was really special to me was having our friend Brian in the circle. My parents knew Brian's parents when I was a baby and a couple weeks ago I found out that Brian's dad was in the circle when I was blessed. I had already planned on asking Brian to be in the circle, but finding that out made it so much more special!
