Avery's Blessing

Last Sunday Cadence and I had the opportunity to visit my sister Whitney and her husband Cord. They also blessed their little girl that Sunday and it was wonderful to be able to attend that Sunday Service.

We drove up Friday and made it in really late and spent Saturday morning just sleeping in and catching up with Cord and Avery since Whitney had to work. Then we met up with Jeremy and Tiffani for the afternoon and we had a total blast catching up and meeting their adorable little boy Aiden! Jeremy, Tiffani, and Aiden also joined us for dinner at The California Pizza Kitchen (where my sister works). The food was fantastic and the company was even better! Thanks again Jeremy and Tiff for letting us take over your day! We had some much fun and we can't wait to do it again!

The next day we got ready for church and Cadence got to wear the second of her Christmas Dresses. She wouldn't look at the camera, but she looked super cute!

She actually posed with me in a picture too!

We made it to church on time and Cord did such a wonderful job with the Blessing! It is truly a wonderful thing to hear a blessing from father to child! I felt so honored to be there and share in that moment. Avery didn't even cry! :o) Cadence made it all the way through the passing of the Sacrament and then had a melt down. Once we were out in the hall she promptly fell asleep on me (something she hasn't done at church in a VERY long time). We had such an awesome weekend and I can't wait to visit again! Thanks to Whitney and Cord for letting us crash at your place again. :o) You guys are the best!
