December Bliss

Benton at the ward party.

Tori in her school Christmas Program. She was an angel and had a beautiful line to deliver.

This time of year can really take a lot of energy. We've been up late every night and out the door early every morning, so naps are a MUST. My two babies!

My kids have been so great with "Baby Ada". It helps me get things done when the girls hold Adalyn. This was a sweet moment of the baby asleep on Alex's chest. Moments like these make me appreciate being a mom.

Merry Christmas!

She's Style'n

This one is for my utterly gorgeous sisters who keep me "IN" with all things fashion. Here Adalyn is sporting her first pair of SKINNY Jeggings, bling Binky, and LUCY Trumpettes (the socks). It is so fun dressing little girls!!

Adalyn's Baby Blessing

"We are a happy family." It's a good thing I got pictures BEFORE church.

Garrett gave a beautiful blessing to Adalyn. Six of his seven brothers were there to stand in the circle and Grandpa Hatch. We also blessed Berkley and Margo's baby, Presley, the same day. 

Some of the things that were mentioned in Ada's blessing included:

*health and strength

*being valiant in your first estate

*making good desicions

*being a good example

*loving and serving the Lord

*marrying in the temple

*someday, raising a family in the gospel

My very talented friend, Jen, took these amazing pictures of Baby Ada. Two hours of fun in an overly warm room, with a naked baby...and only two "accidents"...one on the floor, the other on Garrett. Thank you Jen. I LOVE them!

Grandma came to our house! My kids are SO excited to wake up every morning to play with Grandma Udall and Auntie Louisa. I am so lucky to have her here to help me with everything while I recover.
