Birthday/Blessing Day

What a nice birthday present for Jay!  He got to bless sweet little Tahlia. It was so nice to get together for both the special events.  We look forward to getting to know this little girl better.  She seems like a real sweetheart so far.  Happy blessing day Tahlia!

Thanks to Jay and Brynn for going to such a lot of work, birthday or not, to host everyone who could make it to their home for the blessing.   They cooked up a delicious meal for everyone and the cake and Juge's pies were yummy too.  Wow Jay, that's a lot of candles!  So grateful to have both of these special people in our lives!  Happy Birthday #36 Jay!

Assorted shots around the house - Madi modeling her Brave Halloween costume, Afton checking out Madi's bike, Sarai, Eden and Noah being sillies, Brady the handsome lad, Madi licking the cake batter, Madi and G'ma cheesing.  Ellie was having none of the picture taking thing.  She was too busy checking out the toys to be interrupted.

Lou and kids came up and Juge, Lance and kids were able to come over (bearing so tasty pies) to the blessing/birthday party.  Brynn's family - Judd and Becca, "Granny", and her mom and dad came too.  It was nice to see everyone.  After the festivities we went over to Juge and Lance's for the night.  It is always marvelous to see their latest remodeling project...can't believe it is the same house.  We went to church with them and got to see their Sacrament Meeting Presentation.  Eden was pro at doing her part.  Noah was not too anxious to do his part even with Lance standing by, but he sang very nicely.  Sarai was a quiet, but wild child back in the benches.  Thanks to everyone for feeding and housing us and Bean.  It was a great time!
