A little catch up... Taybri's Blessing

I've been such a slacker on posting, so slowly I am going to try and catch up. Ryman's baptism is coming up this weekend, so I figured I better get Taybri's blessing posted. We blessed her on June 6. We had so much family come, it was a great weekend! Dean gave her a beautiful blessing and it was a very happy day. She has been such a blessing for our family. I feel like we waited so long to get her here, there are days I walk in the room to pick her up and I still can't believe she's mine!
Brylie was blessed in a dress that my great-grandmother made. So, when I asked my mom if she would make Taybri's, she found a way to make it just as special. She used silk that my grandpa Candrian brought back from the orient over 40 years ago, tatted lace that my great-grandma made over 50 years ago, and the petticoat was made from a hand crocheted pillowcase from my great-grandma over 60 years ago. It was beautiful!!! I crocheted the booties and Dean's mom has made an amazing blessing quilt for each grandchild. Isn't she cute?!!!
