baby blessing

in our church babies are given a blessing when they are a few weeks old and then baptized when they are 8 years old. sean gave char a beautiful blessing yesterday. most of our immediate family was able to attend the blessing and then we had yummy food afterwards and a fun time hanging out. thanks to everyone who came!
this dress was made for my grandpa to wear when he was blessed. it is over 100 years old! both my sisters and i were blessed in it as well as two of my nieces. charlotte was beautiful in the old dress and even had a new bracelet to wear from her grandma!

Wow, that is sooo neat (the dress, I mean). Congratulations to you guys! You make a beautiful family. She's still so tiny!

She looked like a doll. I LOVED getting to hold her. Sean did a great job and so did Char.

How beautiful she is! What a wonderful tradition you have - using your grandfather's blessing dress!
