This past weekend was Gavin's blessing. I was so happy to have all the kids here. Chelsie got laid off for a few weeks and so her and Brian were able to make it home for the long President's Day weekend. They got to our house Friday night and we were watching the boys while Jade and Brit were out doing some shopping, so it was good that they got to spend some time with Gavin and Branson.
Saturday morning we went to Gavin's blessing. It was a beautiful blessing given by his great grandpa on Brit's maternal side of the family (I can't think of his name right now). Gavin is growing so fast! He is such a happy smiley baby and so unbelievably adorable! He has the biggest blue eyes and perfect little dimples. He is starting to smile and coo and even giggle now! He looked adorable in his little white suit.
After the blessing, most of us went to Golden Corral for lunch. We had a good time visiting with Brit's parents and our kids and watching our crazy boy, Branson. He is really such a character! He puts on a show for us many times these days.
Sunday was Valentine's Day and we were celebrating Kandice's birthday which is on Tuesday. I made enchiladas and heart-shaped cookies and chips and dip. We had such a GREAT time visiting and laughed and laughed. It is always so much fun when all the kids are here! My heart aches for them when they are gone. After dinner, the kids decided we were going to watch Zombieland. I have to tell you, Glen and I don't get it. Why do kids think that movie is so funny? We just didn't get it ... I guess we are showing our ages!!
I had more fun watching Branson play and be silly and loving on Gavin. Branson has learned to spin in a circle and make himself dizzy. I was watching figure skating on the Olympics the other night when we were watching the boys, and Branson was very entertained. He sat still for over five minutes watching the skating. When they would go into a spin, he would laugh and laugh. After that, he started trying to do some of the moves and it is so hilarious to watch, but from that, came his spinning. It is a funny thing to watch!
We truly are blessed and so thankful for our family. We hope the kids can keep adding grand kids to this wonderful family as we just love them all so much!
