Olivia's Blessing

On Sunday September 5, 2010 Jesse gave Olivia a name and a blessing at church. Participating in the blessing were Jesse's father, my brother Matthew, and the Bishopric- Bishop Kippen, and Bros Oswald, and Rector. He did a great job, as he did with the boys as well.
After church we went to my mom's house to have dinner and take a few pictures. The family.

Me and my mom.

Olivia was blessed in a handmade Belgian lace dress that my mom picked up in Belgium several years ago. Olivia is the 5th granddaughter to be blessed in this dress.

However, my mom also made a dress for her for this occasion. I have a few friends who are trying to edit these photos so that they are not so blue. We took them in the shade outside since Olivia loves being outside, and that is where she would be happy and cooperate.

You can also see the tiny booties that my mom made for me. Both Nate and Graham wore those booties with blue ribbons when they were blessed.

Silly, silly boys.

Fortunately Grandad and Aunt Cammi were more than willing to keep the boys entertained while we were doing the photo shoot.
