We decided to have Avery's baby blessing Memorial Day weekend because Eleisha and Angie and their family were already planning on coming to St. George to see Ryan's graduation the Friday before.
So Friday morning-ish Angie and Eleisha got in, and everyone headed over to Dixie College's basketball arena for the graduation in the early afternoon. To our suprise, the graduation ceremony was very concise and well done!
Saturday afternoon we got to meet up with more friends and family for more fun. First we went to lunch with the Wightman's. At the end of lunch Lynsey's mom got into town with Josh's grandparents, so Josh, Lynsey, and her mom went out shopping in preparation for the blessing the next day. That evening we all met at Josh's parent's (where we're staying for the summer) and had dinner and hung out.
Next came the big day! We made sure we were up a little early Sunday morning so we would be all ready for church without a problem. Avery looked SO precious in her white blessing dress, big white bow, and little white lacy shoes. Josh was a tad bit nervous about the blessing at the beginning of sacrament meeting (mostly we were just hoping Avery would be happy through the end of the blessing, which she was!), but as it came time, he was very excited and loved getting to give the blessing.
Once church was over it was picture time and then lunch time with our family. So here are a few shots of us all on Sunday afternoon:
