Oh well, that's the name of the game of football. You win some, you loose some. And I'm trying hard not to cry. I've always been a big baby though, and I never fail to cry when football season is over. Get over it Jen!! ;-) Anyway, today has meant so much more to our family however than just football, the most beautiful sport ever invented. My mother, hubby and I went to church with the O'Brien family so we could participate in special gospel ordinances with them. We are so proud of Grant - for today he was ordained to the office of a priest in the Aaronic Priesthood, and my husband had the honor of laying his hands on Grant's head to confer this upon him. Grant was able to pass the sacrament for the very first time and he did a wonderful job, nervous as he was. Then our little nephew Ryker Jonathan O'Brien was blessed in sacrament meeting by my husband, and Johnna bore her sweet testimony. It was a spirtual day, one I will never forget. Mom went crazy with her camera, so I will add pictures she took this week. Johnna and I were giggling cause we could see the flash of her camera in the halls. My older sister Heidi also came with her family, and we bumped in Laura and Leif and family in the halls who were just finishing their sacrament meeting in the same building. It was so much fun to see everyone.
This is my favorite picture I took of our happy gathering in the church foyer. Look how adorable Ryker looks - I love the way he's looking at cute little Shori.
After church, we met back at Johnna's house where Grant cooked us a fabulous meal and we watched the first half of the superbowl with them. Austinn entertained us with his fun, goofy personality and we took turns holding Ryker. Now we're home watching the final half of the superbowl, rejoicing with the family spirit we feel. My family members are truly the bestest friends I've ever had. ;-)
And with that said, there will be more to come. Tomorrow is Groundhog day and so the month of February begins. Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!
