A Christmas Blessing

Mark, Liz, Slade and baby Josh
Four McCormick boys
Beautiful Christmas Night
We had the idea on Christmas Eve to have Josh's blessing on Christmas Day. It was very short notice, but we decided that it would be the best thing. Since it is RSV season, our doctor advised us not to take Josh out for a few months, and since my parents were in town, we decided it was the perfect time. It was a beautiful night, and it started snowing right as we began the blessing in our home. It was such a beautiful blessing. The Spirit was so strong, and Josh looked just like an angel. He wore his daddy's blessing outfit. The bishop, Todd's dad, my dad, our brother-in-law Dan, and Todd's cousin Mark stood in the circle with Todd. It was such a wonderful experience to be able to bless him on Christmas night in our home with both sets of our parents and a few more family members there. I am so happy to have Josh and Todd in my life.
