Madison's Baby Blessing

We had a very enjoyable time at Dallas and Rebecca's home following Madison's baby blessing. 

The tables were set so beautifully. 

Rebecca impressed us when we found out she had made the centerpieces all by herself--from scratch--not from a kit. WOW! And CUTE!

Carson quickly found a place at one of the tables. He was ready!

The food was spread out and looked delicious.

Brooke could hardly wait to dish up her plate of strawberries.

Here's the baby girl all dressed in white and looking very alert.

Looks like Carson switched to the kid table once he got his food.

Dallas's dad and Joan were there.

Dallas's mother Kathryn came.

And also his sister Brittany.

Here's the line-up of girls on our side of the family: Sarah, Nani, Mom, Rebecca and me.

Love this picture of the men chilling in the living room: Dallas, Glen, Jeff and Dad.

Here Glen and I are getting our pose in with Madison.

Look at this precious mother/baby photo. So sweet, so tender, so dear.

I love watching our children raising their children. These new babies are definitely gifts straight from heaven.
