Blessing Day

Yesterday was Karsyn's blessing day. She was all decked out in the beautiful heirloom gown her Grandmother, Mother, and older sister were all blessed in. With hand embroidered flowers and hand tatted lace, the dress is worthy of the little treasures it clothes.
Karsyn was the center of attention. She didn't seem to mind that one bit.

Kamryn, of course, was not forgotten, and had a great time with a house full of cousins!
Somehow the Mickelsen side all kind of migrated to the basement and the Loveridge side mostly stayed on top. How else can one feed some 50 people in one house - that's two hams, three potato casseroles, rolls and salads and relishes and cookies and more cookies and more cookies. We celebrate!
This is a picture of our oldest and our youngest grandchildren together - Tabatha's almost 13. In between there are six others - each unique and all precious to me!
Sean recently returned from Iraq. This has been our first time to see him in over a year, and much longer than that for the rest of the family. Leo and Edna found this GI Nutcracker to celebrate his return. It's wonderful having him and his family with us for a couple of weeks.

That comment was from Chloe. I am cracking up because in her random button pushing she somehow managed to copy and paste a link to my cousin's blog. Although her 22 month old grasp of the English language is limited, what she was attempting to type was "Grandma,Grandma, Grandma...Hi Grandma...Mommy look, Grandma!" She was coming unglued when she saw those pictures of Ann.

What a beautiful family gathering. How did Tabatha turn 13? Isn't she supposed to be 4? These kids are killing me!

Ohh I love nutcrackers although do they really crack nuts?? Ours growing up as a kid where always on the high shelf so we could never test then out. Then again, we probably didn't have nuts to test them out on! Cute pics of all the kids except Nick is he still too busy for pictures?

Did you really just finish the pictures taken in 2006? Today's photos are the ones I always scrap first--they are so much funner and the memories are so much easier to remember! They look great that was a fun time!

Makinzee, today's pix get put on the blog. I have serious doubts I'll ever get caught up enough to get them into a scrapbook. Certainly not at this rate, anyway. Maybe if I'm ever released as a RS president and if we ever get this remodel project done. And, you're right, Nick just can't stop long enough for a picture. That's my next goal - get a picture of Nickolas!!!!
And, Julie, I am SO glad Chloe got to see her grandma! It was wonderful having Ann and Tony with us, too.
