It was a day filled with family and friends. Standing in the circle were: Ryan (of course), Grandpa Anderson, Uncle Stephen, Uncle Spencer, Uncle TJ, Papa(my dad), Uncle Chris, Uncle Jeffrey, Bishop Krueger, Glenn Frandsen (our home teacher), and Dale Braunersrither. Also in attendance were Uncle Jim and Aunt Sandy (ryan's family), Jared, Rachel, and girls (ryan's cousin), Aunt Dee Dee (my aunt), and our neighbor and good friend Kelly along with all of the families of the guys listed above. We were so lucky to have so much family come out to support us. Both girls were all smiles during their blessings and pretty much the whole day too. We had a nice family dinner afterward (thanks to all who helped in the kitchen) and a photoshoot (of course).

"the twins" and "the twins":

Nana and Dee Dee Nana (as my kids call them)...my Aunt Dee Dee flew in from Boise to be here, what a gal!

Uncle Spencer and Uncle Stephen...came all the way from Omaha, NE and Jersey City, NJ

The Proud Grandparents:

My mom worked down to the wire on the blessing dresses and they turned out just how I wanted them. Ava's has hot pink ribbon laced through the bodice and Elsie's has light pink ribbon.

There was a certain incident worth menitoning involving a lost key (which was tirelessly searched for) that ended up being found in Ava's bloomers, but we'll leave it at that!

We are so blessed to have such supportive and wonderful families, and to have 2 healthy and happy baby girls to add to our little family.
