A Patio for Lincoln


So -  Before we blessed Lincoln, I decided that we would have a get together at the house afterward, and didn't want people to stand in a giant dirt patch.  Which meant I needed a patio.  Which also only gave the men folk 3 weeks to finish.  It also rained 6 out of 7 days a week.........

The last brick.......(I think)

The last few bricks..........

 And when Grandma wasn't on her hurt knees trying to help - she was busy with this little man!
He loves kisses can you tell?

One of my favorite pictures of the boy to date!  He's SO cute!!
We pulled off the patio, and the blessing was beautiful.  We also fed 100+ afterward in my backyard.  Brad was nervous about it.  Actually everyone accept me was nervous about it.  But I knew we could do it!  



All in all it was a great idea that helped make his blessing a really great day.

My backyard could use a little work. I'll be expecting you and your parents soon to complete it! It looks like you had a good turn out. Wish we could have been there. Then it would have been 105+ people. Lincoln is so cute!
