In very late August, we blessed Evelyn and hosted a party at our little 650 sq. ft. apartment. This is my parents and my Grandpa and Grandma Hill.
Aunt Heather loved holding Evelyn.
Grandpa showing Kaden his cousin.
Grandma Gibbons made a beautiful quilt that hung on the kid's wall for several years.
Ben's best friend from growing up, Peter, and his wife Melinda with their kids. Grandma Cluff pretty much organized the lunch we had following the blessing, which ended up being hoagie sandwiches with a variety of salads (I'm not sure why we don't have pictures of Grandpa and Grandma Cluff and Aunt Michelle from this event). Quite a few people showed up, including many of Ben's cousins with their families, and our good friends the Lanengas and Johnstons.
Aunt Nicole trying to keep Kaden occupied.
Ben being silly.
He was nominated class clown in high school after all.
Evelyn in her dress a few weeks later, since I didn't get any good shots of her awake and in her dress on the blessing day. She was a pretty good sport during the business of the day, no screaming out during the blessing or anything, and not too bothered by all the company.
One of Ben's post-mission buddies, Adam, with his wife Nicki, and their daughter who is 10 days younger than Evelyn. They stopped by to visit us on their way to dental school in Texas.
