Finally...

So last weekend was Easter AND Grace's baby blessing. We had such a wonderful time visiting with our family. We had eight people travel to Texas to spend the weekend with us. On Thursday, March 20, we celebrated Justin's birthday as well as his grandma's birthday by having a barbeque. On Friday we drove to Shreveport, Louisiana to do some shopping. The boys enjoyed strolling through the Bass Pro Shop while the girls shopped the outlet's. We even enjoyed local cuisine... kind of. There was a little restaurant at the outlet mall where we ate. Some had fried catfish and some had gumbo. We even ordered fried pickles. They weren't bad, but I would've like to have tried the deep fried oreos instead. Yum Yum! On Saturday all the boys went to the East Texas Oil Museum near Justin's work. The girls stayed home and relaxed and played games. Sunday was the day everyone had come for. Grace was a beautiful baby in her white dress. Justin did a wonderful job on the blessing. It was so sweet and inspired. Grace didn't even make a sound. She was so alert and bright eyed the whole time. Our family has truly been blessed and we so grateful to have such a loving Heavenly Father. We have truly seen His hand in our lives. We hope you had a great Easter as well as you were able to celebrate Our Savior's Atonement and Resurrection.
Some pictures from the weekend:

Grace with Grandma Debbie and Grandpa Fred. The outfit she is wearing was given to my mom by her grandmother when she was just 3 months old. My great grandmother bought it in Italy while she and her husband were in the military.

That outfit is so cool! I wish that I had something that had that much heritage in it! You are really brave to even put it on her. I know with my luck she would have puked all over it!
