Ike's big day

Hello Payne Nation,

For family home evening we decided to post about Isaac's blessing. This is especially for those who were not able to make it. The blessing went as planned, except there was no microphone. I think that my shouting the blessing startled Isaac and he was close to being dropped. Not really, but there was some repositioning that had to go on during the prayer. Sara put together one heck of a family gathering after the meeting, complete with breakfast casserole (what a housewife she has become or is becoming in about 2 weeks), cinnamon rolls, and even strawberry filled chocolates or maybe it was the other way around. I hope that you enjoy the pictures. Usually it is the baby who receives gifts or surprises at these events, but Isaac left one for Grandpa Payne as he held him on mom's chair. The surprise resembled the pumpkin spice cake, so I wonder if Grandma was sneaking him some real food? Anyways it was a great day for all of us. And Grandpa Payne is going to send us the dry cleaning bill.

With love,

Ryan, Sara and Isaac

P.S. Sorry for the belated congratulations Gavin, but better late than never. Sara is glad to have someone in the family at her level of education. Sorry we missed the big day. We tried to give you a ring, but you were off assisting in the business of saving souls as a bishop. Well done on both accounts.
