Garin is a Deacon...wow!

So, last Sunday Garin was ordained a Deacon. It was a very exciting day for us as a family and in Garin's life. My parents and little brothers (well, not so little now that they are taller than me) came down for the exciting event and we really enjoyed having everyone there! It was a jam packed day! Not only were my parents (Doug & Sabrina) and brothers (Jaren & Jonas) there, but my sister Jaleen, sister Jocelyn and her boys Jon & Jared, friends Gus & Darcy with Branson & Kaedon, friends Jeff & Kerity with kids Jace (Garin's best friend), Kirra, Breezy, & Jaren, as well as Haski & Martha with kids Chas, Noel, Jeremy, Jackie, & Nathaniel, and Trevor & Jocelyn with Lucas & Violet! We felt so very blessed to have so many that we love there! Garth ordained Garin and was assisted by all of the men listed above as well as my brother Jaren and a few other friends in our ward including Brian Holmes, a member of our bishopric. During sacrament they brought Garin up to recognize his advancement to the office of a Deacon as well as learning his Faith in God award. In Primary opening exercises they awarded him his Faith in God award and then in the 3rd hour he was ordained a Deacon. It was such an amazing day. We headed over to our house after church for White Bean Chicken Chili and yummy sides for dinner with cheesecakes for dessert (covered with ganache)-in preparation for a baby shower I had at my house the Thursday after! What a great, great day! We loved every minute and are very proud of Garin and his decisions! Here is a quick picture of us right after church!
