Blessing Day!

We blessed Kailie last weekend at Jared's parents house in Utah, sadly his parents were out of town but there was a lot of other family members and friends there. The blessing was really beautiful, Jared did a great job even though he cried. Kailie also did a good job even though she cried too but not as much as her daddy!

Proud Papa

Horray I got blessed!

What a cute family!!

Sister in-laws, love them

Great College friends!

Right after the blessing! Kai loves that binki!

It was so great to see everyone and to be in the cold, snowy weather that I love and miss so much! Thanks to everyone for coming to celebrate this special occasion with us!
A lot more fun things happened while in Utah which I will post soon and there is a Surprise!

Is This What Your Christmas Looked Like?

Christmas Eve and DayJared 's parents were here for Christmas Eve and Kailie got to meet her Grandpa Theler

Kailie hanging out with her new buddy the roller skating Santa

Jared, Kailie and I had a sleepover in our living room so Jack and Carolyn could sleep in our bed, it was fun to sleep out by the tree!

Then it was early to rise not to open presents but to do dawn patrol surfing on the north shore. Which was cut short when Jared broke off the fin and cut up his body on the reef!

Kailie enjoyed her first time at the beach by getting her daily workout of stretching

We just hung out watching the waves!

Then Kailie got her first surf lesson although I don't think she learned very much since she slept through it

Jared teaching Kai how to paddle

Then it was time to open presents!

Kailie got diapers

And Cosmo

She even fit into Cosmo's outfit sort of!

We hope all of you had a good Christmas and New Year!
