We had Oti's Baby Blessing yesterday at our home. I am glad it is done and a little sad to never do it again. Dave did a great job and I could tell he was emotional as he spoke. What a wonderful blessing it is to have the priesthood in our home!!!
Since we did it at home we had to have an opening prayer and the Bishop asked me to share my testimony. Leah said the opening prayer and asked that the spirit be with us, I LOVE THAT GIRL!!! She was nervous, but did a great job. I bore a quick testimony and of course cried, because I was overwhelmed with joy and gratitude!
The best part was to have so much family here. Otis was passed around from arm to arm all night and he loved it. All of my family was here, including my dad, as well as my aunt and her whole family. From Dave's side of the family we had Grandpa Al and Diann, Karalee, Sarah and their families and Amy and the boys.
It was a wonderful event!
I can't help but be grateful for the abundance of love our Father in Heaven has for us, for our little family! We feel so incredibly blessed to have Otis as part of it. My heart is full!!!

Sounds like a perfect blessing. Love all of the pictures!
How awesome that you guys were all able to get together for Otis' blessing! I love that you were able to do it at home, it probably made it a little easier too.
Laura, Otis looks soooo cute. He is getting big. I love the picture of all of you under the tree - it is beautiful. I am glad it was such a special day for your family.
Sounds like a great time together. Love the family pictures!
It looks like a beautiful night. Get ready to bear your testimony again at Leah's baptism. The Bishop always "requests" this as well.
It looks like a truly wonderful day. What a great experience. I love all the pictures. I can't believe what a "Mini-Mylo" Otis is. :)
I just can't stop thinking about how adorable Otis is!! He is just precious!! What a wonderful day!!
Home blessings are the best. Love his little outfit, and Millie's cheeky pose!
Little Otis sure is growing and changing...and so cute as he does. Looks like you guys had a wonderful blessing day. Love all the pictures.
