As I said in the last post the family headed to Utah for the holiday weekend. Jake had some time off and we needed to bless Andy so off to Utah we went.
Andy's blessing was very nice. We had lots of friends and family come. Jon and Tami had reserved the community center in their apartments for us. It was a nice middle ground for everyone to meet. Jake did a wonderful job. It was wonderful to see the priesthood in action. It was also so sweet to see all of the people that love our family.
We had many friend come but I didn't get a picture of everyone. I was busy talking... :) I had to post this one of my sweet friends though. They have seen me through everything and I heart them.
After the blessing we got ready for halloween. Halloween is now the favorite holiday around this household. Nathan loved every moment and every spooky thing we did. Jake and I definitely played into his obsession. One of the favorite activities was pumpkin carving. Nathan loved it but he hated the messy part. If anything it was fun to watch his expressions as Jake did the carving.
Andy also enjoyed the carving
I think it turned out pretty cool. Nathan wanted to spooky pumpkin and he chose this :)
After the pumpkins it was time to get dressed. For months Nate had been obsessed with Starwars so Jake and I though it would be fun to dress up. If you asked Nathan anytime in the last month what he wanted to be for halloween he would say " Masta Yoda". We really didn't have a choice in the matter. Andy even got in on it and dress up as a wookie. Sadly he didn't like how itchy his costume was so we only stayed dressed for about 2 minutes. It's ok though.
Nate using the force
Now it is time to gear up for Thanksgiving...and maybe a little Christmas...to take away some of the heartbreak of taking down the Halloween decoration. It's all for Nathan...
