Elizabeth's Blessing

We were so fortunate to have all 4 grandparents down for Elizabeth's blessing on the first Sunday of this month. Since that also corresponded with the first Sunday of the year they were all around for a very fun New Year's Eve party. We haven't spent any of the holiday season with Dan's parents since we left Utah so we were especially glad to have them here...they flew in on Christmas night and stayed through the New Year, woohoo! My parents were also able to come in for a long weekend and that was really great. The first morning with all 4 around Aaron exclaimed excitedly "I have TWO Grandmas and TWO Grandpas and TWO brothers and TWO sisters...(dejectedly) but just 'cept I only have one Dad...and one Mom." Ummmm, bragging or complaining kid? It was SO. MUCH. FUN. watching the kids spend time with their grandparents and build those relationships. We wish we lived closer so we could do this more often!

It was a beautiful blessing. Dan is always so articulate and loving at these times, I married the right guy. Elizabeth brings such a sweet, calm spirit to our home and I know she will do many great things on this earth. I'm so grateful for my beautiful little family!
