Blessing Day

Tonight we were able to gather in our home for Garrett's baby blessing.  We decided to bless him at home so our families that are far away could participate over Skype.  Our set up was a little crazy, we had four different devices going and 13 people connected into our living room.  We had Grandma Harrison, Aunt Anna, Grandpa Harrison, and Uncle Jer in Utah, Great Grandma and Grandpa Jones, Uncle Kurtis, and Aunt Meesha in Texas, Uncle Douglas, Aunt Nikki, and Linken in Arizona, and Uncle Willie and Aunt Krista in Georgia - it was awesome!!! This is how it looked:

And then we were so blessed to have some of Jared's family along with some of our dear friends with us in person.  It was so nice to have so many people, that we love so much, be a part of Garrett's big day!!!

Garrett's blessing was wonderful!  I love watching Jared use his priesthood to bless our family!  It is one of the sweetest things as a mother to see him bless our children! Tonight was definitely one of those sweet experiences that I will remember forever!!!

Here is our sweet boy in his adorable blessing outfit!

I love this picture of Jared and Garrett - talk about melting my heart!!!

I so love this little boy!

Yeah for a Mommy and Garrett picture!

Here is our little family - I am so glad that we got a good picture tonight!!!

My old roommate Amanda Cannon was able to join us tonight!  (Can you tell that Tori was way over all the picture taking?)

And we were so excited  that Sam and Cheryl Fenton along with their adorable little Cora were able to join us, too!

Garrett and Cora - they are only a few weeks apart in age and we hope they will be great friends!

We were so pleased that Bishop Weiss and his lovely wife Tina were able to be here with us- we love them both so much!!!
