Ryan's Blessing

March 7th:

Ryan's blessing day turned out great. Kent gave him a really nice blessing. We were so thankful to have all of our best friends there. After church we had dinner at Pete and Julie's house (big thanks to them for hosting us). I did most of the food, which was a little stressful, but not too bad. I owe a big thanks to all our friends for bringing the food they did and helping me get it all ready. I kind of felt all grown-up, arranging it all on my own. We had a fun evening talking. The star of the day (Ryan) was asleep in a back room during most of the night. We love Ryan so much and are so thankful he is apart of our family.

Oooo I wish I were there too. The food looked awesome. Way to do it all. Wish we could have been there. I'm glad it was such a neat day. I love the family picture too. Your hair looks so great, almost like it's highlighted. And I am loving your outfit! You do not show signs of having a baby just two months AGO!

Hi Holly! I don't know if you remember me, but I was in your ward about 2+ years ago. Our husbands were taking the dreaded CPA exam at the same time, and then we moved to London.

I can't believe how big your kids are now, and the new addition is adorable. We'll be back in the bay area this fall, so maybe I'll see you soon :)

Best,
Sara

Oh Holly, I almost cried. I want to hug and squeeze that cute little guy. i love his face in the picture of you kissing him. It looks like it was a great day with lots of friends. Would your friend mind sharing the cupcake recipe? They do look great, especially the frosting. I hope you are doing well. love ya
