Everett's blessing

Everett's blessing was on January 3rd. My brother Fred was in town and it worked out nicely that my whole immediate family got to be there. It was all the siblings minus Heather, but Scott and the kids came so they represented for her. Tristan's father and brother also participated in the blessing (that is his whole family). It is funny to see how small Tristan's family is and how large my family is. Here are some pictures of Everett in his cute little blessing outfit.

We took these pictures of our little family after church using the timer and a tripod. Tristan did not want to put his church pants back on so he is in addidas shorts. It was my first sunday back at church, and Everett's first Sunday at church. Tristan took Everett home after we took pictures. By then only the last hour of church was left and he was getting cranky. I stayed to play the piano for primary and then Tristan had to come all the way back and get me. This Sunday we just had, we planned better. We took two cars in case somebody had to take the baby home early. Everett made it longer this time. He did not go nuts until there was only 30 minutes left of church.
