Michael's Baby Blessing

We blessed little Michael in church yesterday. Normally we would've waited another month or so, but Dave's family were able to come visit this week, so we decided to bless him on Sunday. To those who are not familiar with baby blessings, it is basically a prayer that someone who holds the priesthood in our church performs. David gave Michael the blessing, and it was a simple yet very special blessing. Unfortunately the microphone was not working, so Dave had to do it without it. The bishop just told him to speak loud. I was able to hear it, but I'm sure those sitting in the back of the room weren't able to.
After sacrament meeting I invited everyone back to our house for a light breakfast. Most of my family were able to come to the blessing. The only ones we were missing were my parents of course who are on their mission in Denmark, and my brother Jeff and his family who live in Oregon. My grandparents came to the blessing which was nice. As I said earlier, Dave's parents flew in this week from Texas, along with his sister Jennifer. Jennifer's son Seth (who is living in Orem) and his sister Carrie were also there. Thanks to both of our families who were there to support us and Michael.
Now for the good part, the pictures....Now I've posted a lot of pictures and I know all of you may not want to see all of them, so just scroll through. But it's my blog and I can do what I want! :)
