We blessed our beautiful baby girl at church this morning. We were so lucky to have my parents, all my siblings, and John’s parents with us this weekend for Haylee’s special day. John gave her a lovely blessing and it was so wonderful to be surrounded by family this weekend.
The blessing was made even more special because Haylee was wearing a dress made from my wedding dress. Over the summer I cut up my wedding dress and used the pieces to cut out the pattern for a blessing dress. I cut out the pattern pieces and finished the edges then gave the pieces to my grandma to put together. I loved that I could do that with my grandma and the finished product came out even more perfect than I could have imagined. I had managed to save pieces from the overlay on my original skirt with it’s embroidery and beading and my grandma was able to replicate the overlay look on Haylee’s dress. It was stunning and I absolutely loved it!
I am so very grateful for this little family of mine!
