Dan gave Ben a wonderful Priesthood blessing on Sunday, March 13th. Ben was very well behaved (aka quiet) and surrounded by 14 amazing men (definitely exceeded the suggested limit...oops)!
In the circle (we unfortunately never got a picture of everyone):
Great-Grandfathers- Russell M. Nelson, Reed Webster, Paul Condie, Dave Thompson
Grandpas- Dave Webster and Mike Thompson
Uncles- David Webster Jr., Brian Stewart, Jake Winegar, Jake Webster, Sam Webster, Jonathan Thompson (we certainly missed Justin Smith and Adam Webster)
Bishop- Paul Schmutz
Father- Dan Webster
It was so wonderful to be in our new home and be able to host 50-60 people for a little lunch gathering after the blessing.
Great-Grandfather Russell M. Nelson
Webster Great-Grandparents
Condie and Thompson Great-Grandparents
(missing Gandma Jeanne, who was sick at home)
Thompson Grandparents
Webster Grandparents
Snoozing with uncle Jonathan.
Poor little dude was so tired of being the center of attention. :)
Our handsome man!
Outfit and shoes: From Grandma Sylvia
Blanket: Crocheted by Dan's mission president's wife, Sis. Clove.
Sweet little shoes that were almost too small. His tall body has some long feet. :)
Big sister had many distractions with so many family members around, hence her being sweet to Ben. Very minimal hitting that day. :)
Here she is playing with cousins Joseph and Kate and Aunt Mickelle in her "jabroom" (bedroom).
It was great having my parents here to visit for the weekend! Thanks for coming!

we were in the foyer, i took a look when everyone got up for the blessing circle and said to justin--they aren't going to all fit! justin's family is huge but his grandpas passed on before we blessed anyone and no greatgrandparents either.....so that cut it down a little bit. SO wonderful to have so much family there though!!! :)
and sophie and mckenna REALLY need a playdate. i'll have to see what we can think up for this next week.
LOVE ALL the pictures. You have a very beautiful Family Laura! Your kids are just adorable
I cannot believe all great-grandpas are there! None of my children will even meet their great-grandmas and if they come quick they might meet one great-grandpa. P.s. Laura, I just adore you. You look gorgeous. And just beam light. Keep on keepin on, woman! :)
Ben is so cute! I love his blessing outfit. And how cool is it to have Elder Nelson be your great-grandpa! That's awesome! :) You guys are such a cute family!
Such a special day for such a special boy! So glad we got to come and bask in the goodness. :) Love you!
La! Great new family pictures :) I recognize Kenna's dress ;) I think Ben looks like you in so many of those pictures! And, its so sad Grandma Jeanne was sick. Its also sad we missed it. :( But, looks like you were taken care of. And, I am sure the circle was just right ;)
He is such a beautiful baby!
I am so sorry we missed it. We were planning on it and even ready to come, but something cropped up at our own ward and we needed to stay here. :( Maybe on a very soon weekend we can get together on a much smaller scale and celebrate again?
What a sweet little baby boy. Hooray for blogs!
You have such adorable kids and how cool is it that they have an apostle for a great grandfather?!
Congrats on the big day! He looks mighty handsome in his all white.
It is awesome you had so many family members there. Congratulations!
