Allie's Blessing

Last Sunday we blessed Allie in our ward. It was a gorgeous day and great to have so many friends and family here to support us. After the blessing we came back to our house and had a luncheon. Then Mat (Nicole's brother) brought out his candy cannon and we shot candy all over the front yard and into the neighbors yard. It was a huge hit! Enjoy the pictures and especially the video.








Ok the first time (not shown) we shot off the cannon I was a little too close and had to run for my life because I was being pelted with candy. The second time we shot off the cannon I was back farther (video shown) and only suffered minor casualties.

Frankly, you've always had a cute little family. Now it's just a little bit bigger. So sad we missed the candy cannon. If only I'd known! Glad we could be there for Allie's special day, though.

How fun! I've never seen a candy cannon. What a great invention! I bet the kids had a great time!
I am glad to hear that Allie's blessing day was a special one!

I have been checking for pictures. I'm sorry we weren't able to make the blessing--I'm sure you understand why. : ) Still sad, though, it is the only one we have missed. Glad it was such a beautiful day! Makenna would be all over that candy cannon!! Can't you borrow it for a couple days later in the month? We'll provide the candy. : )
