The Weekend Extravaganza

We made it! We're alone again {*tear*}. We have a baby with a name and a blessing. We have happy kids who are missing their cousins. And, we have a happy family missing the distractions of company.

It was a great weekend. Everyone came in at various times on Friday and we just enjoyed each others' company. My family came in Friday afternoon and we got to lounge around together. Then I made pizza and we hung out. Late Friday, the Hibshmans arrived. I think they stayed up to chat a bit, but I had to get to bed, knowing my alarm clock would go off around 3 and there's no snooze button....
Saturday brought lots of cousin-time, shopping and the strip. For some of us, it was just relaxing and chatting at home. All in all, it was a good day. Saturday night was the only time all of us were together for dinner...Actually, I take that back, my sister and her family went out with their friends...ok, we were never ALL together for dinner.


Yes, my kids are in their p.j.'s. Oh well. When you eat dinner on a Saturday night, is there any better attire?
Sunday, we kind of had a meal all together.... Breakfast! You can never go wrong with pancakes, bacon, sausage and muffins! We kind of ate in shifts as people got up, but that was ok, because I only have 7 'dinner' plates and there were 10 adults.... :). I realize it was fast Sunday, but half of us had to eat anyway (nursing/pregnant....yes I fall in the nursing category) so I just went for it. Then we had the blessing at church that afternoon. It was great! It was so great to have everyone there and as usual, Jon was amazing. Julianne was quiet and content the whole time, even though it was her usual lunchtime, she didn't make a peep.
Finally, after church we got to have some pictures. It's crazy how my family is growing. It doesn't seem like it's been that long since I posted a picture of Mason's blessing day...
We borrowed th dress from my Brother (as Brooklyn did as well). It's beautiful and big and full. I love it! Jon took it off her after the blessing, though. He said it kept getting in the way. Needless to say, besides the first 20 minutes or so of sacrament meeting, Julianne when to church in a onesie. Oh well. We had to take it off for her to fit in the carseat anyway.
Me and my girl...Isn't she cute. OH! and by the way, I made her headband. I'm a little proud of myself. (not that it was complicated). Originally I was going to make a flower clip, but I never got to the store to buy flowers, so I just used a pink ribbon I had around. It turned out pretty cute, i think.
Then, we had another mini-photo shoot on my bed. I still don't have a picture to put on my wall. I may use this one, though. What do you think??

Happy Blessing day, Julianne! No one could love you more than we do! Thanks to everyone for coming down and for the well-wishes from those who couldn't! It was a fabulous weekend!
