Back to School Blessings!

Ah, the last day of summer break....seems so odd!  We had a great day, living up the last few carefree moments, picking out first-day outfits, packing lunches, arranging backpacks, etc.  As always, we ended with our traditional back to school blessings, which is always a sweet experience for our family.  The kids did great sitting for all five blessings, and we felt a great spirit in our home.  Jared gives beautiful blessings with the most humble spirit; it is always a wonderful experience for me as the mom of the home! 

 He looks like a teenage to me, and then I realized his feet aren't touching the floor!

 James can never ever pass up the chance to do something his older siblings have also done!

 He tried SO hard to keep his eyes closed, cute boy!

 A classic doggy pile hug afterwards!

 And even though Jackson didn't seem to care about getting a blessing, he sure did want that hug!  Love my family, and super excited for school tomorrow!
