Hudson's Blessing Day

Hudson was given a name and a blessing in our home on Sunday, October 14th, 2012.

He wore the sweetest pure white outfit that Daddy called his ninja suit.

He was wrapped in the same cuddly, white blanket that his sisters wore when they were blessed.

 His Great-Grandma Kirby made it with love.

[Hi-ya!]

He was blessed that he would be a light to others around him.

He would grow to be strong and healthy. 

He would be surrounded by a family who loves him dearly. 

He was so so lucky to have so much family come down for the special event. Grandpa Don and Aunt Katie, Great Grandpa Kirby, Bapo and Mimi, Grandma Linda and Grandpa Terry, and then of course his mommy, daddy and big sisters.

He was so excited to have so many visitors and was a complete angel the whole time. 

Four Generations of Kirby men stood in the circle.

Daddy was especially excited to have Great Grandpa Kirby there. Hudson was named after his grandpas; they all share the middle name, Edward. 

Daddy seemed especially proud to be able to bless his son. Mommy was proud too. 

When the blessing was finished and we all said Amen, Hudson was quietly staring at his Great Grandpa. It was a sweet moment. 

“Every member of the church of Christ having children is to bring them unto the elders before the church, who are to lay their hands upon them in the name of Jesus Christ, and bless them in his name” (D&C 20:70). 

We celebrated with a nice lunch of sandwiches & salads and enjoyed some good company. It was a great day in the Kirby home.
