Blessing day

Aliyah received her baby blessing in church today. It was so nice to have my parents, brother, and sister and their families join us for the occasion.

My mother made a blessing dress for my younger sister back in the day--it is either crocheted or knitted--My two other daughters also wore that dress for their blessing. Aliyah, being a pretty good sized two-month-old, broke with tradition today. She is way too big for the traditional dress, so she got to wear a pretty cream colored outfit instead. (Also, it happened to be a gift from Grandma--so it was still special)

Now, if I could get her to hold still for a picture....


Not bad, now just stop wiggling for one second....

Wait! Now your bonnet looks weird! That is not going to work....


Again, not too bad....No!....don't start fussing.....I am not done trying to capture your cuteness...

Much better....thanks to Grandma's arms!

Grandmas are so useful. Aliyah looks beautiful.

She looks so cute! Isn't it funny how they seem to cooperate for pictures until you actually have the camera. Then you can't get them to look or do the cute stuff. It was great to see you guys!
