A Very Special Weekend

Last weekend was the most special of all weekends. We enjoyed the company of my parents, grandparents and my brother and his family. We had a lot to celebrate. My Grandma Lindahl had her 80th birthday and Ben had his baptism. Here are a few pictures of our special time. Look at the love in Grandpa Lindahl's eye's as we sing to Grandma. This cake was absolutely yummy and was enjoyed by all of us. I felt to blessed that Grandma would come and share her birthday with our little family. We love you Grandma!
We got really crazy during the birthday party and broke out all our old part hats and masks. This is about as wild as our group gets.
This is our attempt to get a family picture at the baptism. Johnny and Paul wouldn't look at that camera and I'm not sure what Ben is looking at. Oh well, 3 out of 6 looking isn't too bad.
This was my most favorite picture of the night. Grandpa Hulme was so proud of Ben on his special day.

Here is half of our group at the baptism . We didn't quite catch everyone. It was a very special event. We enjoyed the company of many of our wonderful family and friends.

Wow Ben! Congratulations. We sure do love you all. Looks like a very special weekend. I am sad that you don't have Grandpa singing with a recording. We need to get that! Love you all. Tara
