Blessing Day

We were very excited to have so much family here for Brant's blessing on March 29th. Jared's parents and sister, Sara, got here Friday night. We spent Saturday morning at the mall and then we met up with my parents and Becky and Glenden (my sister and her husband) to take a quick tour of downtown Denver. We met up with Jared's brother Jordan and his girlfriend Kamera who drove in from Texas. Mia and Mason wanted to go rollerskating, so we squeezed that in too. It was fun to meet Kamera and see my sister 6 months pregnant (barely showing! that stinker). It was nice having Glenden and both grandpas to join Jared in the blessing circle. It was a wonderful day. Jared's family left Monday morning and my parents stayed till Wednesday. We loved every minute of it. The kids had fun swimming at the hotel pool, playing on the elevators, watching cartoons, bowling, and spending each night at the hotel with grandparents. We are already looking forward to a long summer break in Idaho....only two more months!!!
