Bennett's Blessing

Bennett was not a happy camper in his blessing outfit.  It seemed that every time I tried to snap his picture in it he would cry.  In reality he just wanted held and who can blame him?  

We blessed Bennett in July, over the 4th of July weekend.  For some reason I was panicy - the thought of having everyone over was overwhelming, and we weren't even having the luncheon at my house.  For some reason ever since he's been born I've been having sensory over load, too much noise, too much going on just makes me nervous.  It's getting better now - but even the morning of his blessing I was having panic attacks.  We decided to keep the day small and simple, we ordered a ham and just had Mike & I's siblings, parents and Mike's Grandpa.  Truthfully I worried about offending anyone for not inviting people, but I thought with the 4th of July weekend that there would be family get together's and hopefully no one is mad at us.

 Mike gave Bennett a very sweet blessing - the Spirit was so strong and I'm so thankful for my eternal family.

 After the blessing we went to my in-law's and had lunch.  I was so worried that the ham wouldn't be enough to feed us, it was a 10lb ham, what was I thinking?  The night before I dreamed there wasn't enough and I had to choose who didn't get any.  There was tons, the lunch was so nice, well everyone thought so but Bennett.  Haha, I don't remember him crying, but all these pictures he sure is not too pleased!

 Yeah, really not happy here.

 Until Bennett was born Max was a 5th generation only boy, Mike was pretty proud of breaking history.

And finally, a peaceful little boy.
