Blessing Day & M&M Trees

Wow what a day! After only two weeks of planning Nikh's blessing, the day has come and gone. First of all, thank you to all who helped. I know it was a bit last minute and so I needed a lot of help. Thank you especially to my mom and dad who allowed us to use their house and backyard.
We decided to have Nikh's blessing last Sunday since Branden's family- or at least most of it- was going to be here. (We missed you Rachelle and Justin). We didn't have much time to plan and I had to call everyone who was invited so that they would have some time to plan to go. The invitations didn't get sent out until a week before.
It was a nice day to have a blessing and a family gathering. Branden gave her a beautiful and powerful blessing. After the meeting, a lady that was new to the ward came up to us and told us that she had written most of the blessing and gave us the paper. I was able to get the parts that she missed.

The funniest part came as we were finally headed back home after much delicious food. Ember started to complain that she was still hungry. But who wouldn't be when all she ate was a few chips, some olives, and a small scoop of ice cream? She finally decided that she wanted to have some M&M's. Her daddy told her that we had already passed the M&M tree. Five minutes later she asked, "Is there a way to go back to the M&M tree?" It was so cute. Ember is very smart and usually does not believe things like this, so it was fun to hear her actually believe that there really was an M&M tree.
