Bella's Daddy blessed her on Saturday, November 11, 2011 with the name Bella Marie Stanger. We shared this event with our families and enjoyed it in our home so that everyone could be present. It was a reverent experience that filled our home with so much love and peace. We are so grateful for the opportunity we have to be members of the church and to know and share the ordinances of the church with our children.
“Every member of the
church of Christ having children is to bring them unto the elders before the
church, who are to lay their hands upon them in the name of Jesus Christ, and
bless them in his name” (D&C
20:70). In conformity with this revelation, only worthy men who hold the
Melchizedek Priesthood may participate in naming and blessing children. The
ordinance of naming and blessing children requires authorization from the
presiding authority.

If your wondering about the story behind her dress it is simple and sweet. Her adorable blessing dress is the same one my sister and I were blessed in, so it has lots of special memories attached to it and more to come.
