Yesterday we had the amazing opportunity to have Eric blessed in church. It was such a neat experience to have it finally be your child receiving the name and blessing. Also, it made me grateful to have a husband who is a worthy priesthood holder who could bless his son. My sister in law Holly who lives in Arkansas made his little outfit. An older lady from Mitch's home ward made the white blanket for him. It was really special because I guess this lady has Parkinson's Disease and still went through all this work to make him this blanket.
We were blessed to have family come and experience this with us also. My mom has been here since Christmas but my dad flew out from Arkansas Thursday (he got delayed because of the huge icestorm they had). Mitch's parents and brothers came from Boise. Also my sister and her two little boys came from Caldwell. Mitch's cousins Bryce, Becky, Brett, and Larissa were also here. Pat Jenkins popped up surprisingly also. It was so nice to spend this event with family. Thanks to all our friends and family who came! We loved having you!

Congrats, Carrie! That is such a special day. Eric is beautiful.
I want you to know (in case you were weirded-out), that last comment was from me, Tiffany. :)
That is a great family picture! You are looking good.
wish I could have been there.
All the best for you and your family, sweet little Eric. God bless you.
By the way, I like your home slipper Carrie.
