Abbis Dedication/Family Visits

Last weekend we enjoyed having Andy's family here for baby Abbigails dedication. Her dedication was beautiful and after hearing Nate's song (that he wrote and sang) I'm pretty sure there wasn't a dry eye in the house!! She looked so pretty in her white dress :) We also got in some quality game playing time while everyone was here! I'm proud to say that i did win one game of Settlers of Catan...Ticket to Ride however is a different story.







After the dedication we went back to Nate & Beccas for yummy chilly lunch!
