Nixon's Baby Blessing

On Sunday we got to go to Nixon's Baby Blessing.  Russ gave an excellent blessing of his name NIXON RUSSELL TAYLOR and many other special blessings.  A lot of people came - I don't think that I have ever been to a baby blessing with so many people attending in the audience specifically for the blessing.  It was super fun to talk with family and to meet some of the Taylor's other friends.  My sister Debbie was just glowing in the excitement and looked very cute in her white dress.  We went to the Taylor's house in Ladera Ranch afterwards for delicious desserts - Thrifty's Ice Cream - need I say more?.  For dinner, we went to my parents house for lasagna.


If you are wondering....What's an LDS baby blessing?
A blessing given by the priesthood to give a baby/child a name and future blessings - such as health, values, service, etc.  Typically a family member gives it and is around 1-5 minutes long.  In Nixon's case, his father was able to give it.  The blessing is given at the beginning of the LDS service (aka sacrament meeting) and family and friends come to join the sacrament meeting.
