Landon's Blessing Weekend

Saturday and Sunday were very busy, with lots of visitors here for Landon's blessing. 

On Saturday morning, we and my parents spent the morning buying all the food that we would need for our little get together following church on Sunday.  Once we got all the "business" taken care of, Cameron was off to the airport to pick up his friend, Chris, and his wife, Heather.  They were able to come in for just a really short period of time, but we were so excited that they made the effort to come up and be with us!  Since Cameron was preoccupied with airport pickups, and Mall of America stops (and getting into fights in the parking lot...ask hm if you want the full story!), we took the kids back home for naps.  Papa was nice enough to stay home with Miley, while my mom and I took the time to do a little bit more shopping with Landon in tow.  It was a pretty successful run, hitting up Home Goods, Old Navy, and Bed Bath and Beyond (household items are pretty fun to shop for these days...) :).

Once we got back from our shopping trip, everyone had made it back to our apartment...Cameron, Chris and Heather, Cameron's parents, and us.  We decided that it would be a good time to do dinner, so we took everyone to Eddington's (a Minnesota soup place that is sooo yummy!).  It was so fun having everyone together, so much so that I didn't take pictures the whole day (in my defense, I told myself that I was going to be much better about taking pictures while everyone was up here, and for the most part I was...I just kind of left out Saturday!).

On Sunday, we got to bless Landon...the reason everyone was up here this weekend!  It was so nice to have our family and lots of friends come to support us (Chris and Heather, Katie and Tyler, Cecia and Cameron).  We took most of our pictures at Don and Cindy's afterwards, so we weren't all dressed up, but we ate lots of good food (A BIG THANKS to my mom and dad who helped a lot with sandwiches, salads, and desserts!), and everyone just got to enjoy one another's company.

In true Wendy fashion, I didn't get a picture of my mom and dad with Landon...I am kicking myself for that one!  But here are plenty of others from Sunday...

Dig in!

Miley was thrilled to have little Jack around...

Too busy playing to have dinner, but she is never too busy for a brownie!

Best friends since third grade, Cameron and Chris.

Acting nice (Chris and Heather, me and Cam, Cecia and Cameron 2.0)  :)

A little more realistic??

Grandma and Grandpa Clark

Miley didn't want anything to do with pictures...so just Cameron, me and Landon.

The time went by too fast, and Chris and Heather, and Cameron's parents both had to leave Monday.  We wish they all could have stayed longer, but we were so glad to have them up for the time that they were here...

We were lucky enough to get to have my parents for a couple extra days so we could get a little more fun in...  :)
