Blessing Day!

 Mac's blessing day was wonderful and beautiful! We blessed him in Hubs's parent's Ward this last Sunday. Hubs blessed Mac while my Dad, Hubs's Dad, brother and two brothers-in-law stood in the circle with him. Mac was a little wiggly but the microphone kept him occupied enough to not be fussy.
Hubs gave Mac the most beautiful blessing. What I thought was most powerful was that Mac was NOT blessed to go on a mission or be married in the temple, but he was blessed with many "tools" to help him to make those correct decisions when the time came. He was also blessed with an understanding heart and mind so that he may see Heavenly Father's hand in bringing him to our family.
I am so greatful that Hubs is a worthy priesthood holder so that he could bless Mac with such wonderful blessings.
And here are the very few pictures we got. Mac was not being very cooperative when it came to picture taking that day.

McCoy looks so cute in his all white clothes. He's getting so big and is so dang cute. Congrats on being sealed and blessing him. Our turn is coming up here soon, in about a month. I cannot wait!

He is so cute! I am so happy to hear he didn't pull a Sofia and scream the whole time.
You all look so wonderful! What a cute family you have.

What beautiful blessings. And what a handsome little man! If you hadn't said anything, I'd never known he wasn't cooperating for his photo shoot. Those pics are great, some of the best pictures end up being candid shots of our little ones!

What an eventful few months it has been for you. Do you think life is about to slow down anytime soon?

He looks so cute, and what wonderful blessings. We blessed Aaron too, but I realized afterwards that we didn't get any pictures! Sad, I know. I'm glad you got some good ones!
