This past Sunday we were able to bless Gabriella in the church. This was Tyler's first time giving a blessing at church and he did a wonderful job. He was very nervous because he typically doesn't like speaking in public but he seemed very confident during the entire blessing. Gabriella was a little cranky at home and on the car ride to church so I was so nervous she would cry during the blessing but she didn't make a peep. She was such a perfect little angel. We invited all of our families and had a good turn out. Tyler's mom, step dad and grandma came to support him. My three aunts and 2 uncles came and 10 of my cousins. Along with my parents, grandma, little brother and sister and my older sisters family. It was so amazing to have so many family members who traveled far to come support us. It meant so much to us!!
I was hoping to get pictures of the men in the circle but unfortunately I didn't. We were lucky to have my Uncle Lindsey, Uncle Aaron, my cousin Aaron & Adam (Both of whom have recently returned from their mission), my dad, our friend Ted, my brother in law Thomas and our Bishop. It was such a great group of guys that all love our little Gabriella.
Afterwards, we had a delicious lunch at our house. The kids had a blast playing in our backyard and it was nice to socialize with the adults.
Family is SO important. And it meant so much to have our family there to witness such an amazing & important event in our daughter's life!
Uncrustables for the kids(and men LOL), chicken salad sandwiches, caesar salad, fruit salad, veggies, and pita chips and hummus!
Gabriella's happy and proud parents!
