A great weekend (this is old, i found it in my drafts) oops forgot! Oct. 26

This weekend turned out so good. Our family came up this weekend for Xela's blessing. When Micah picked this weekend to do it, we didn't realize it was going to be the perfect weekend to have everyone come here. Almost everyone was able to come. We had Micah's parents, my parents (who stayed at my house) the Evan, Sara and Sobeida who stayed at Connor and Chelsea's house, who live not to far from us (Evan and Connor are Micah's brothers) then my brother Nick and his wife and kids stayed at my aunt and uncles house in bellevue. So we all got together on Saturday night for our Halloween Carnival and Trunk or Treat at the church. The kids got dressed up and there was good food and lots of candy of course. I dont have pictures because they were all taken on Micah's mom's camera. And then when that was over we all came back to my house and Micah ordered a pay per view fight, a gift for Evan's birthday.

Then Sunday morning came and it was pretty crazy, we actually got to church early which is just unheard of for just Micah and I with the girls to be there at 9 when church starts. And everyone else got there just in the nick of time. When it came time for Micah to give Xela her blessing he did such a wonderful job. Everything that he said was just beautiful we were all touched by his words and he couldn't even keep it together. The spirit was so strong at that moment. I'm so thankful for Micah that he is able to do that for our little girls. I'm grateful for all those who were able to come on Sunday, it meant a lot to Micah and I. And an extra treat for all that was there on Sunday, it happened to be the Primary Program. Karma did such a great job, I thought for sure that she wasn't going to was to go up there but she bravely went up and sang all the songs. When it came time for her age group to go up and recite the first article of faith she did great. They said it perfectly, "We believe in God the Eternal Father and in his son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost." Her and another girl were right up on the microphone so it was hard to hear the others over them. Then they each had one line to say which we have been practicing for awhile and with out being scared or running off the stage she said it confidently, " I can show kindness to all of God's children." It was so cute and I was so proud to see her up there.

Then we all came back to my house when church was over and had lunch and hung out. Even micah aunt and uncle flew in from Utah to see how Micah's dad was doing.
