Thompson's Blessing

Last Sunday we blessed Thompson. It was a wonderful day and Thompson did great through the blessing and his first sacrament meeting. He didn't seem to mind all the attention afterwards either.

The wife of one of Trevor's coworkers made these adorable little shoes for the blessing. I am still amazed at her a.) talent and b.) thoughtfulness and generosity in giving them to us. How do you make such perfect tiny shoes? To quote Trevor's younger brother, they are pretty g.

During the blessing he wore this white blanket that I was blessed in back in the day.

Thompson was perfect during the blessing. He didn't fuss at all and even gave me a big smile when Trevor brought him back. 

Trevor did a really great job as well and gave him a beautiful blessing. I gave him two stipulations for the blessing: 1.) don't drop our baby and 2.) say the right name. Both concerns were completely unfounded, but I had to tell him anyway.

We were lucky to find a time when most of our family could come to the blessing. Thompson is lucky to have so many people in his life to love and support him.

 
He is also lucky to have his great grandparents still alive. We were planning on all 4 sets of great grandparents to be there, but it snowed like crazy and my Grandpa and Grandma Cannon were not able to drive up from Provo.

Here he is with his Great Grandpa Emery. 

We feel so grateful to have been able to bless our little boy and for the priesthood that allowed us to do it. We love our little family.
