Baby blessing and family pictures

Jay came for Christmas break and only had 3 weeks with us, which also included 3 Sundays with us. However, the second Sunday my brother and sister-in-law were already leaving to go back to Rexburg, Idaho; and the third it was just us 5 with grandma and grandpa for sure. This left us with only Christmas weekend to do Daniel's baby blessing. I was sooo happy to have waited 2 months for this so that Jay could be here and perform it.

We were all happy after Sacrament Meeting, besides that weekend was only 1 hour instead of 3.. so the kids were not as tired and tired to smile.. just said "cheese ball".. And here, the rest of the family.. with the future new addition "Chelsea" who just got engaged a couple of days before this picture.. The next day, we went to have a studio done since the whole family was finally together.
These are some of the pictures.. ignore the fact that are not cropped..
This was the last picture which we were all together. On this one, one of the assistants got pretty funny with a basketball, since Benjamin was not smiling and really didn't want to be there.. But she got a good smile out of him. However, could not convince him to were his tie.. oh well.

I love seeing this one of the grandparents with the rugrats.. so cute. Not much of a pose on these one, but my little men look adorable anyway..

Not always seem to smile.. lol

And of course the "main" family tree..

And this was our first picture.. our now family of 5.. What a blessing to know we got to spend some time as a family.. and in 4 months we will be together again for some more quality time with daddy.
