Grandma and Grandpa Barer

My mom and Steve came to visit and play with the baby. Genevieve had so much fun...well we all had a lot of fun. We watched a Lacrosse game and a movie and ate lunch and played with the doggies and the baby. Genevieve was so happy to get to spend time with her Grandparents. Here are pictures of our fun filled day.

Genevieve wasn't quite sure what to think about the dogs at first, but by the end of the day she liked them.

Mmmmm

So relaxed with Grandpa.

So playful with Grandma.

Merry Christmas

Genevieve had a wonderful first Christmas. She got to meet all of her cousins and got lots of toys to play with. Santa was very good to her because she has been such a good girl. She loved spending time with her grandparents and great grandparents. Here are our pictures of Christmas in Walla Walla with Genevieve.

Genevieve was by far the best gift that Kyle and I received this year.

Genevieve's Baby Blessing

Sunday we gave Genevieve her baby blessing. It was such a wonderful experience. Kyle gave her the most thoughtful and special blessing during church. All of our parents were able to come to town for the special occasion which helped to make the day even more special. I was able to feel the spirit very strongly and it was wonderful to hear the blessing for Genevieve and know that our Heavenly Father will protect her throughout her life and that He has many great things in store for her. I am so grateful for the priesthood and all of the blessing that come from it.

Here are pictures of Genevieve's special day.
