blessing weekend

this weekend worked out perfectly because it was halloween and we got to bless our sweet baby gavin today. so it was great to have grandparents here for it all. thanks so much to everyone who could be here (we missed those that couldn't :). it was such a fun weekend filled w/ fun and yummy food! blessing day is always such a special spiritual day. i'm grateful for my 3 kids and awesome hubby. bren gave the baby a beautiful blessing and it was nice to have such good friends and fam to be apart!

That was a good blessing day. My bother and his wife blessed their baby that day too. Are you coming down for Thanksgiving or Christmas? I'm going to be gone for Turkey day, hopefully I'll see you in December.
