Miles' blessing

After we got back from Kansas and felt settled again, we started planning Miles' blessing. We found out that Dave's brother and his family from Alaska were going to be in town on Sunday, April 25th. So, it made sense to plan the blessing for that day so that most of Dave's family would only have to make one trip to Provo to see Miles' blessing and also to see Dan and his family. There were entirely too many people coming to have the blessing at our house and they weren't going to make it in time to do the blessing at our church so we asked Dave's boss if we could have access to the high school for the afternoon and she agreed. We had a BBQ before the blessing and then Miles was blessed by Dave at 2 p.m. that afternoon. It was great to celebrate that day with friends and family we hadn't seen in a while.

We forgot to get a picture of Miles in his sealing/blessing outfit earlier in the day, so after everyone left we put him back in it and did a photo shoot in his bedroom. He wasn't too cooperative, but that was understandable. In this picture his outfit looks huge on him, but to me it never seemed too large in person. Too funny!
