Pierson's Blessing II

Well I am FINALLY getting to the beginning of January. I am so darn behind it isn't even funny. I like to tell myself that if I had a computer during the day then I would be better about blogging. It's just another thing I have to add to my night and it usually doesn't take precedence. But I will try to be better. I am excited to post about Pierson's blessing because it was such a great weekend. Grandma Adams came into town to make it even better :)
Can you believe these chubby legs! I love them. I am so glad that we live in California because if we lived anywhere else, Pierson wearing Michael's short sleeved romper wouldn't have worked as well. It was really warm that weekend too. I think it was high 60s maybe even low 70s that day.
I think Pierson looks so darn cute with the boy bonnet on. Makes his cheeks stand out even more.
Can't give Pierson all the attention! Avery wanted to be part of all the fun.
Grandma A knitted this sweater for Pierson. She said that she started it and it wasn't working so she stopped but then decided last minute to bring it in case she was bored. Well it was perfect because she finished it the day before he was blessed and it looked so cute. I was searching for a light blue sweater before I knew she was making one so I was really excited to have handmade one from our very own Grandma. It'll be one of Pierson's first heirlooms :)

Good looking crew! I was of course trying to throw myself together at this point so they took family pictures without me.
At church, after the blessing.

Sunny skies = squinty eyes, but at least we are all looking!
While Grandma was here we decided to go to the beach. We went and got In-n-Out and then headed to Newport Beach. It was so warm and sunny, you would have never guessed it was the first weekend of January. It was 70 degrees! Grandma made sure to call the Idahoans to tell them how great the weather was. They were busy building snowmen while we were sticking our toes in the beach!
They are just so cute together. It makes my heart melt.
Grandma and Avery running from the waves. Avery loves running from the waves, it is her favorite thing to do at the beach, and its even better when Grandma is holding your hand.
Don't worry Pierson can breathe, I just didn't want him to get sunburned.
Little family picture. I sure do love Michael and our babies. Life just doesn't get much better than this!
This is Grandma and the babes right before she left on Monday. We were so glad that she came down and shared this special time with us. Family really means a lot and we are so grateful to have such wonderful family. Thanks Grandma for the really fun weekend (two months later)!
