Bridal Shower!

My cousin Bethany is getting married in June, so this last weekend I attended her bridal shower.

This is another cousin, Jenny and her daughter Ava

Bethany getting Hayden to smile. (Hayden is my cousin Rachel's baby) I have LOTS of cousins by the way. Ha.

Sharon will love this picture.

Bethany describing something good here

Lets all take a moment to hate Jenny for how skinny she is. :) My mom holding Hayden.

Hayden didn't want to smile for me

Spotlight! Everyone watching Beth open her gifts

Beth was embarassed by this gift but I wasn't quick enough

Everyone's reaction to the gift

Hayden sleeping on Sharon

Aidan wondering why Sharon is holding someone other than him.

It was fun seeing everyone and I'm still clinging to hope that we'll make it to the wedding. :)

Weekend

During the 3 major Biblical feasts (Pesach, Shavuot, and Sukkot) each year, the House of Aaron holds mini-conferences over the weekends (meetings from Friday night through Sunday morning). Since it's Pesach (or Passover) right now we had a mini conference over the weekend at EskDale.
I'm not even sure where they got these hats

Notice the nice weather, it's definitely not the kind we're having right now

Sunday was First Fruits and we usually have a meeting of offerings (special numbers done by people)

Here is my dad playing the trombone with two of his grandsons.

Aidan and Kenneth making goofy faces

Aidan was very sleepy during one of the meetings so his cousins gave him some animals to snuggle with.

Passover Seder

Last night we celebrated the Passover Seder with the rest of the House of Aaron peeps.
Most people probably celebrated/started Passover earlier in the week, but we went off when Rosh Chodesh happened in our area.
Aidan was helping Sharon cook here.

Kenneth and I did the decorating and most of the setting up of tables. Sharon helped with the grunt work since I'm pretty much useless these days when it comes to physical activity.

So most of pictures are usually centered around how we decorated and all that since that's what I like. :)

Kenneth designed the covers of the Haggadahs.

Nice Day

Other people have been taking pictures with my camera. Yay! So I'm not actually sure who took some of these. :)
