Layla's Blessing

The beautiful blessing dress my mom made. I love it!

Here we all are!

We were going to bless Layla in January, but the snow prevented some of our family members from making it. So we postponed it until February. Unfortunately, more winter storms hit this past weekend and again, most of our families weren't able to travel because of all of the snow. Luckily, both sets of grandparents were able to make it and we went ahead with the blessing. Dave gave Layla Pearl a beautiful blessing. We named her Pearl after my grandmother and also Dave's grandmother and she was blessed with some of the characteristics of two great women.

I love Layla's dress! It's perfect for a winter blessing. After making Olivia's, I vowed never again to make something so small. Aunti Ju-Ju has changed my mind! Cute, cute kids!
