Carter's Blessing

Carter recieved his blessing on Sunday and it was a wonderful experience. Brian gave a very eloquent blessing and Carter didn't make a peep. *Phew!* Stupid me forgot to take a picture of him in his cute outfit so I'll have to do that later.

Both sides of the family were able to come and we celebrated afterwards at our house with a nacho bar and Cosco cake. We had a great time! We thought our house was a decent size, but we think differently after cramming 35 people in there. We are so grateful to everyone who came to celebrate with us.

Julie was hiding toys in her shirt under a pillow and teasing Anna. I think Julie is Anna's favorite.

Towards the end of the party, we caught Mamma Fowkes sitting alone "rejoicing in her posterity."

Hey, none of that!

Everyone hanging out after dinner.
Mary decided she doesn't like to share her grandma with anyone else.
Randi is *shocked* by Carter's finger display.
Aah, sibling love. Gideon, Chrystal, Carrie and Julie cheesin' for the camera.
Abby slept through most of the party but caught the tail end. Someone put Mikayla's bow in her hair and it stayed! It's just long enough now. Yay!
