Both sets of grandparents flew in for Avril's blessing which made for some fun times!
Ray's mom made Avril's blessing gown. GORGEOUS!
Hannah helped Granny get Avril ready.
And of course I have to mention the food. It always plays a key role in the Benton/Henderson get togethers. Pina Coladas, carnitas, pies, guac, dips, chips, etc. Believe me, I am still recovering!
(mine was a virgin pina colada. I swear!)

yeah right-- you're definitely looking all soused up in that picture. rosy cheeks, lazy eyes... that or you've been watching too much of that new tv!
(and, i love how all your entries have a punch line. that's classic!)
okay, i came back and noticed your big jewel around your neck! what? when? pray tell, sister!
I got it for turning 30. I think Ray was trying to tell me that I am officially too old to be getting my jewelry from Claire's.
I was telling Annee the other day I forgot how witty you are. It is fun to see how much of your personality comes out in your little comments. It is fun remembering you and how you always had this fun energy about you. And look how much you and your mom look a like as you get older.
Too bad about no longer being able to shop at Claire's. Ray's really forcing you to grow up. That picture is too funny! Your necklace is worth growing up for though. Looks like a fun day. Thanks for the food descriptions. It just made my bowl of frosted mini wheats seem like a really sorry excuse of a lunch.
Ha! funny! Maybe your drink was the accumulation of moving, having baby, unpacking and planning a party ? I loved the big family photo, so pretty! And Avril's dress is gorgeous! The food sounds sooo delish!!
Sara, you look so good! That is such a cute dress and you DO NOT look like you just had a baby! I love your mom's outfit too! Mrs. Henderson made such a pretty dress for Avril. How lucky to have such a talented mother-in-law. Hannah looks darling. What wonderful women in the Benton/Henderson family!
Wish I could have been there! Sure do miss the old ward! Looking at the picture and seeing the building brought back memories! You look wonderful! Keep in touch!
Sarah
You look so good. Are you working out a lot or something? How fun to have both sets of parents there. I always forget how much I miss your parents and then I see a picture of them and it makes me want to have dinner at their house. Now there are some fun memories. Seriously the Benton clan is so funny. I'm laughing just typing this and I don't know what is so funny! Okay two funny things just came to me...
1. Sheri's half birthday party
2. You, me & Aaron freaking out when we parked in Senior parking. Brooke thought we were crazy. That was so funny.
It wasn't so much that it was from Claire's as the nasty green residue that would stain Sara's neck.....
Seriously, how could someone so fine wear carcinogenic jewelry?...
Ok, now I am getting a big head (as if it could get any bigger) you guys are too nice :)
it seems like you had a wonderful baby blessing. I can't believe how much you are able to do in a day! I hope I can do the same if I ever have kids.
