Benson's Blessing Day

How sweet is this baby boy? I love him so much!

Today, Chris blessed him at church. We actually ended up blessing him at the Mtn. Home Ward because we were visiting for Father's day. It made more sense than making everyone come to our ward in another couple weeks. Joseph and Sarah were already visiting with their families so we were all there together.
Chris gave a beautiful blessing. 

Here is a group picture of the family that was able to attend the blessing. 

Papa, Uncle Johnny, Bishop Fox and Brother O'Brien were in the blessing circle with Chris. 

We are a family of six these days. 

I'm so incredibly grateful for this man. He's such a great guy. I'm grateful that he holds the priesthood and is able to bless our babies  and me when needed. I'm so grateful that the gospel is the foundation of our family and that I know it will always be a priority in our lives. 

After the blessing we all went back to Nanny and Papa's house for a small luncheon. Aunt Robin, Paul and Mrs. Kate and her husband Dale came over. Joseph and his family were there waiting for us when we got home from church. It was so fun to eat and chat. Benson got passed around and loved on and everyone adored him. 

We served chicken salad and PB&J for the kids. Then  cookies and lemon bars for the treat. Oh and we had veggie cups and punch. 

We truly are feeling very blessed to have little Benson in our lives. He's such a sweet baby and he is so very loved!

It was a beautiful blessing and a wonderful luncheon full of love, family and friends. It doesn't get much better than that!
