A blessing and a birthday

We had a low key week leading up to the blessing mainly just hanging out at our house and swimming. Annalyn discovered our guitar and ukulele and went around dueting with anyone and everyone who would sing with her.

She had a ball with Cynjyn.

Jaxon made the rounds and met his new family.  Great Grandpa is still a baby whisperer.

Girly stuff with cousins is always a favorite past time.

These two....melt my heart.

Games and conversation is a must when they come.

Jaxon got loves from his great aunt Krissy.

They did their first family swim and first time in the pool for Jaxon.

Tanner loves babies and kids in general.

We decided to have a birthday party for Annalyn way before we changed the date.  Her actual birthday is the 18th of June, but I had already been prepping, so we had it on the 24th. She is obsessed with Mickey Mouse club house and so it was themed after that. I still needed some help and everyone obliged.  Cynjyn drew and painted Minnie.

We played a matching game wtih Mickey heads as teams.

Pin the bow on Minnie

I turned my punch board into mickey faces with Disney prizes to be found.

She opened her gifts.

We got a few Nothing Bundt cakes and turned them into Minnie.

Her favorite part is being sung to and blowing out the candles and frosting, never too much frosting!

The next day was the blessing.  They did it at our ward since they were most comfortable there.  Carmen came.  We got a photo with her and then realized Dad was in the restroom, but Carmen had left, so we took more photos.

Ahh...here's great grandpa.

4 generations.

Sunday fun with leftover birthday stuff.

I am always and forever grateful for family support. I know it is a sacrifice for them to come all this way, but I really do appreciate it and love them all for everything they do to support us!
