Alaina's Turn in the Dress

Yesterday was Alaina's blessing day at church, which meant she got to wear a beautiful (but very slippery!) white dress that had been handed down from her mama, three aunties, six of her girl cousins, and (of course) her sister, Janae.

 


After a few family photo attempts, first with dad,

 


then with mom,

 


we were off to church to officially give Alaina Christina a name and a blessing.

 


Jason was really nervous, but he did a great job . . . and Alaina was nice and calm through the whole thing.

It is such a blessing to me to have this sweet little daughter, and to have all of my three children--it's all I've ever wanted :)

I think that "the blessing dress" has had more babies wear it than any other dress. I'm sure the sweet little old lady in Nelson (who gave me the dress) would have had no idea! You all look very nice in the pictures :0)
