We are finally taking a breather from our jam packed weekend! We had so many wonderful events, but it was all a little exhausting, especially with a new baby. John's brother Andrew got married to a fabulous girl, who we all love! On Friday, Andrew and Kristen went to the temple for the very first time and we got to be there with them. Then came the family dinner that night.
Andrew meeting Addie for the very first time
Saturday morning Andrew and Kristen were married for time and eternity in the Washington DC temple. Later on we had a fun reception at La Ferme, a lovely French restaurant in Chevy Chase. I wish I had some pictures of the bride and groom together.
All of the Harding girls!
On Sunday we had Addie's blessing. Adeline cried all morning until finally she calmed down and fell asleep in the car on the way to church. She woke up as John picked her up to bless her. He was worried she would cry during the blessing, but instead she looked around, wide eyes at the 10 men surrounding her as her Daddy began to pray. It was such a neat sight to see these wonderful men encircling her. We are so lucky to have so many worthy priesthood holders in our family. It was a beautiful blessing promising Addie a temple marriage, the gift of charity, good friends whom she can be an example to, a loving family, and many more.
