Clyde’s Blessing Day | Baby Boy Blessing
Sunday June 23rd 2019 was Baby Clyde’s Blessing Day! We had been looking forward to this day for what felt like so long. We decided to wait to bless him for a couple months for a few reasons. Originally, we just wanted him to be a couple months old, out of flu season, and maybe a little less likely to get sick from being around so many people at once. When we found our house in the end of April, we knew that it was a blessing that we had waited because now we would be able to bless him in our new ward, and in our new home!
Baby boy blessing outfits are sometimes hard to find! Lucky for me, my cute grandma offered to take my idea and make him the perfect outfit! I was so excited! Not only would he have the cutest blessing outfit ever, but it would be so special to be handmade by his great grandma, who also made my blessing dress when I was a baby. I absolutely loved the romper-like bottoms with the tiny bowtie! Clyde especially loved the suspenders and held them all day long! Here is a blessing outfit I found that is super similar if you are as obsessed as I am!
Baby Boy Blessing Breakfast
We have 9am church which is always a struggle to say the least. The morning of his blessing I let Clyde sleep in as per usual, which meant we were rushing to get out the door. We rolled in the meeting at 9:03 to see all of our family already settled in their seats. Haha!
9 am church meant that we would be serving breakfast for everyone who wanted to come over after the blessing at our church. We would be hosting 50+ people in our little place so we knew it would have to be something easy to eat, with little to no preparation, and budget friendly! So, we decided to go with donuts, muffins, assorted fruits, juice and milk!
We decided to go with Dunford cake donuts..because YUM! Both Caden and I are obsessed with their chocolate chocolate donuts and the old fashioned cake donuts were really good too! I don’t know about you but when I think of muffins.. Costco (which is our go-to for just about everything) is the first place to come to mind! Their muffins are perfect for a party because they’re big enough to cut in half so people can have a variety!
We also had donuts that said “SO BLESSED” that I absolutely loved! They were the easiest center piece display and SO cute. We got those from our local Jack’s Donuts and found these cute stands to display them!
It all turned out really great and was so easy and yummy!
We were so lucky to be surrounded with loved ones as Clyde received the sweetest blessing from his daddy! Some words that stuck out to me were: passion, light, patience, humor, joy, smile, obedience, and LOVE. My favorite part of his blessing was that he would continue to smile and share pure JOY with those around him throughout his life. ❤️ I have no doubt in my mind that he will continue to do just that. Our hearts are so full! We are truly blessed to have Clyde in our family!
Happy Blessing Day Clyde. ❤️
