Ethan's Blessing

I can't believe its been almost three months since I had Ethan. He will be three months old on Saturday. Crazy! We also blessed him this past Sunday. It went really well and Ethan didn't even cry. He just slept which is what both me and Brian were praying for. He looked so cute in his little tux we borrowed from Heather and Robert. Thanks guys! Both of our families came along with some wonderful friends. We were so happy that everyone could make it. It meant a lot. After the blessing, we all came over to our house to eat. I made chicken salad sandwiches and we had tonz of salads and desserts which were wonderful. Funny thing about the chicken salad sandwiches though. So I didn't know how much to make for fifty plus people so what did I do? Called my wonderful sister Laura. She knows everything about everything, especially cooking so I asked her. She wasn't sure on this though so she told me to call a deli. I called the deli at Macey's and asked how many pounds of chicken I should make for the sandwiches for fifty people. Can you guess how much? Forty pounds! Of chicken! Seriously! That's almost a pound of chicken per person. I had to ask if I heard the girl right. She was like "Yeah, I said forty pounds. That's what we recommend." Can you believe it? So I didn't do forty pounds because to me that sounds like a TON of chicken. I only did twelve pounds and we had about half of the filling left. So guess what we're eating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? Yep, chicken salad sandwiches. Anyway, the blessing went really well and I loved having it but I'm also glad its over. Ethan was pretty good for most the day but I think near the end he was getting a little overwhelmed with all the people. After everyone left, we just kind of vegged around for a little bit then headed over to Laura's for a super bowl party. I didn't even know who was playing but its fun to have a party at Laura's no matter the occassion. It was really good to see everyone and we're so grateful for all the help! Thank you so much for everything! Oh and Ethan is now laughing when I tickle him. Hopefully we'll get it on camera soon. Its just too cute!

Our cute family.

He was so happy for the camera.

He had a long day.

All decked out in his tux.

This is just a random picture. He usually pulls his head up and gets really mad but for some reason this time he was just happy to chill on his tummy.

I just love this picture. I love the hat. Thanks Miss!
