Piper's Blessing

On Sunday we woke up at the rental house (we spent the night) and ate some breakfast before heading home to get ready for church. Everyone came to our ward, which was really nice. It was the Primary program, so that was fun. After church we went back to the rental to make Josh's birthday lunch. Sunday was also Josh's birthday. For his meal he chose burgers but he likes them how he makes them, so he made everyone lunch on his own birthday, that crazy boy. :) They were amazing, as always. After our meal we got Piper ready for her blessing. We had all our family and friends at the house for the blessing. It was a beautiful day! In the circle we had Josh, Bronson, Morgan, Matt, Jacob, Perry, our two soon-to-be brother-in-laws Tanner and Curtis, and our bishop. It was wonderful. Her blessing was so perfect. She was blessed with a lot of similar things as Elliott was, but a few very unique things to her pertaining to her personality and its affects on others. It was very touching. And it was so nice to be surrounded by people who love us and our sweet Piper. 

She did great during the blessing.

My sweet family. I love them.

So proud of this man.

Check out those mountains! We had the best view at the rental house.

Me and Piper. She is wearing the same dress Elliott did for her blessing that my mom made. I love it!

We tried so hard to get a good family shot but there was always one person looking goofy so I included three of the best. Haha

Proud big sister.

After the blessing we took a bunch of photos before changing and getting ready for some more birthday celebrations. On Sunday we celebrated Josh's birthday (obviously) and also Kate's and Kendal's birthday. I got Josh a Kindle for his birthday. He was totally surprised and loved it. :) His parents, get this, got him $300 since he turned 30 this year! Amazing. He is saving it for Black Friday shopping. So fun. 

We ate more cake and did our favorite things about the birthday people again. Such a great tradition. I hope we keep it up. After our birthday celebration the girls and their boyfriends headed back to Rexburg. It was sad to see them go. Kendal and Matt also had to back to their place in Sandy Sunday night, but we snuck in a trivia game before they left. After they left Morgan and Jenn and us played some N64 before they headed home. Overall, a great day!
