McKay's Baby Blessing

We were able to bless McKay at church on Sunday, November 6th.  We were so lucky to have so much family there with us.  We of course dearly missed Stan, Diane, and Tucker who are on their missions and Lisa's family and Sunni's family who live out of town.  Craig gave McKay a beautiful blessing and there were a lot of men in the circle that love him: Craig, Mark, Brian, Eric, my Dad and Grandpa Williams, Dallin, Llyr, Bishop Jackson, brother Palmer and Ferguson and also President Ahlquist.  It was a lovely day and I am so grateful that Craig holds the priesthood and was able to give McKay a blessing.

He wore the same blessing outfit as my brother Tucker.
