Family photo on Skyler's blessing day.
Our Easter this year was an extra special day since Skyler was blessed. We felt so blessed to be surrounded by family and ward members for this special day. Tutu and Grandpa McCune, Grandma and Grandpa Barney, the Alva & Wendy Barney family, the Scott & Jana Clark family, and the Parvin & Maile Mudaliar family were all able to come! Just before the blessing, Skyler was fussing a little so I took him out in the foyer and stood in the doorway looking into the chapel. I fought back the tears looking at three pews full of my wonderful family sitting there supporting us, even though they had to drive a long way and be there at 9:00 a.m. on Easter Sunday. Thank you so much for making the trip! Kyle gave Skyler a beautiful blessing, surrounded by our dads, brothers, Bishop, and a close family friend.
Here is a partial group shot (some didn't arrive early enough to get in this "before" shot).
After church, the Clarks, Mudaliars, and Tutu & Grandpa were able to join us at our house for a delicious fondue luncheon. Tutu and Grandpa also put together a great Easter egg hunt for the kids, which they loved. (More pictures of that in a forthcoming post!)
We couldn't have asked for a more wonderful day to celebrate Christ's Resurrection and Skyler's birth. We know that without the love of our Savior, His Atonement, and Resurrection, we would not have the great blessings of family, love, and the joy that we felt today. What a wonderful gift the Gospel is!
Mommy & Skyler:
Once again, my parents provided the darling outfit Skyler was blessed in. My mom embroidered Skyler's name on the back of the vest--I'm not sure how well you can see it in this picture but look closely!

That is awesome! What a special day to have Skyler blessed. He looks very handsome, as usual. I would've gotten misty-eyed, too, seeing so many rows of family there to support. That is so great!
Our little nephew was also blessed on Easter Sunday!
You look great, Amyanne!
