Blessing day

I LittLiNina woreBaby Nina was blessed in church last Sunday. We were so grateful that some of Matt's family was in town, and that my parents flew in for the event. And we are SUPER grateful that Summer and Matt are only an hour and a half away and they were able to zip on down to join us. We took a bunch of photos after church, before we all had dinner together. I was telling Matt all of the photo combinations that I wanted (ie. Nina with Gardner grandparents, Nina with Bradford grandparents, etc.), and he said, "Aliss! It's not her wedding day!" I know, I know, but I want her to know how many people already love her and she's only 8 weeks old.

Nina wore my blessing dress that my Grandma Larsen gave to me when I was a wee one. Because my mom is awesome, it is so beautifully preserved. I kind of can't handle how much I adore this baby girl!

I did a very few decorations to go along with our dinner, but I have to say that I like the two-toned cake the best.

Is Maren wearing the same dress that I got for Baby Nina but 4 times the size? Incredible. That makes me feel like I have fairly decent taste if Summer bought it. I love the pictures and can't wait to meet Nina.

Her blessing gown looks like the one Ivy was blessed in. Another oldie but goodie. :) She is beautiful!

Such a happy day for Nina and your family. I'm so glad that the dress worked out. I love her little bare feet sticking out in the couch picture.
