We blessed Jabren back at the end of November. My parents were able to come a couple of days earlier, so we got to play! They treated us first to Big Hero 6, which the girls LOVED (it really is super cute)
Jabren's actual blessing day was November 30th. Doesn't he look handsome in his blessing outfit?
This is blessing outfit number two; he outgrew his first blessing outfit when he was about two weeks old! My parents were awesome and tracked down this darling one while they were on vacation. I love it!
Our family of six! I'm so grateful to have these people for eternity! They really are my favorite.
Josh gave an amazing blessing. I'm always in awe of hearing and feeling the priesthood at work. I'm truly grateful for his worthiness to hold the priesthood so that we are all able to take advantage of its many many blessings. I can't imagine our home without it!
Josh blessed Jabren with:
- the ability to understand the love of his heavenly and earthly parents
- know how important that love is
- blessed to be healthy and strong
- desire to learn both temporally and spiritually
- gain a testimony of his own
- to stand firm for what he believes in these last days
- have the light of the Savior as an example to him
- desire to serve a full time mission
- seek to find an eternal companion
- raise his family up unto the Lord
- be worthy of the Holy Ghost as his constant companion
- have the ability to discern good from evil
- desire to choose the good
In the circle was: Josh, Grandpa Paul, Grandpa Gary, Grandpa Ken, Ben, Sam, Mike, Ryan
Afterwards, we came back to our house with our family and friends for some food and fun. We did two different kinds of soups, rolls, fruit, and desserts.
Gramzee and Grandpa Paul with Jabes. So glad they always make it a priority to be at all of our events! It's certainly not easy to travel to us, and takes time, and we really appreciate it!

and Grandpa Gary.
Sam and Nikki came home a day early from their Thanksgiving travels to be here for the blessing; again, so appreciated! Ben and Sharon were also in town for Thanksgiving, so they were able to be here too. It was so great to have so many people from my family here! Only wish everyone could have been!
With my little brothers....
Grandma love.

It was a lovely weekend and day spent with our wonderful families and friends. We are so blessed, and Jabren is so loved!

We appreciate that you schedule around Dad's schedule. Thanks to you and to all of Josh's family for being willing to do that! We wouldn't have missed it for anything!
