Gracie’s party was on Sunday this year {the day after her birthday}. We started the day off by going to church where Gracie received her birthday blessing. This is something that the girls look forward to every year. It’s a quick section during the service, but it makes them feel so special. This year our Bishop {the guy in the funny hat} was visiting our church which made it extra special.
You can’t really see her but this is a picture of Father Clay blessing Gracie!
The whole congregation says a beautiful prayer each week for those who are receiving their birthday blessing:
“Watch over your children, O Lord, as their days increase; bless and guide them wherever they may be. Strengthen them when they stand; comfort them when discouraged or sorrowful; raise them up if they fall; and in their hearts may your peace which passes understanding abide all the days of their lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
After church we had a couple hours to wait {which was almost too much for Gracie to bear} before we headed to the fiesta. Gracie decided on a bowling bash at Strikz this year! Here are a few pictures from the party:
Happy 7th Birthday Gracie!
