Catching up November 2011, a Baptism a Blessing and Thanksgiving.

So in November we were busy making wedding plans for Ben and Samantha. But there were some very exciting days for us besides making wedding plans and besides Thanksgiving. On the 5th on November Jenna Saville, Amy and David’s youngest daughter was baptized and confirmed. That was a great day. Jenna was so happy to be baptized.  We had a family dinner at the church house in Pocatello afterwards for her. She was baptized in Pocatello and not in Saratoga Springs.Utah because they had just moved down there and Jenna wanted to be baptized with her friends in Pocatello. So they came back up for the baptism.

The next day on the 6th of November was Paytin’s , Jared and Sativa’s baby girls blessing day. What a blessing for our family to have both girls special day on the same weekend. Paytin was blessed by her grandpa Egley with her uncle Chet, and uncle David, and uncle Ben and a family friend Dean Ware and the bishop brick standing in. she was told in the blessing that she was a special daughter of God and she came to this earth perfect and just the way Heavenly Father wanted her to. The blessing said she had a great mission to do and that she would be able to accomplish what she chose to and what she needed to accomplish with her Heavenly Fathers help. It said she would be a blessing to her parents and those who came in contact with her. What a special blessing it was. especially since we have been worried about her eye sight. We found out that Paytin has Albinism which means she is missing some of the pigment in the back of her eyes that help her see. Since the blessing we have found out that she will have to were glasses and some therapy to help her. but that's ok because the original  Dr. said she was just blind and would never see.

   

Here is a picture of our two girls together.

After Paytin’s blessing we all came home and Camille and Dean Bytendorp came up and we had a dinner in honor of Paytin and her special day. Then we went outside and took family pictures. It was a cold cold day to be taking pictures but we managed it. Here are the pictures that we took.

For Thanksgiving we had our family dinner the day after Thanksgiving and to tell the truth, these past few months have been such a blur that I really don’t remember what we did. I know we had a dinner but that’s about it.
