Sunday, March 23, 2014 we blessed our sweet Carson Grant Gunnell. Phil gave him a nice blessing and
after sacrament meeting we gathered with our immediate family members in our home for a luncheon. Gramps Gunnell was incredibly generous and catered the meal from Honey Baked Ham. It was delicious and such a lovely gift to be able to not worry about the food and prep and just enjoy the party. We are grateful for his foresight and kindness.

It was a full house! We had almost 30 people present; Phil's sister Wendy and her family, brother Reed and his family, brother Jared and family, my parents, Phil's parents, Gramps Gunnell and the Rapier grandparents. Our favorite neighbors/family the Whittaker's joined us as well. Kendra came armed with her apron and helped in the kitchen like a saint. The family also pitched in with the meal, bringing gorgeous strawberries, Susan made a lovely chocolate cake, Andrea made cookies and I made a lemon blueberry cake.

We had a nice time just visiting and eating delicious food. We are so blessed to have wonderful family and friends who love us and love our children. We are going to miss having them in such close proximity after we move for residency.

We love our sweet boy.
