In our church we baptize at the age of eight, when a child is held accountable for her actions and can make that decision for herself. We bless babies and give them a name when they are weeks old. Baby E was blessed by Daddy, who holds the priesthood, along with Grand-dad, Papa, Uncle Dave, Uncle Mike, Uncle Jay and our good friend Machenzie. Baby E was perfect during the blessing!
Grandma Goldenstar made both of her daughters a blessing dress for all her grand-daughters to be blessed in. The dress makes a full circle and has several different imported laces and trims on it. It took over 100 hours to sew. Mommy helped pick out the fabric and laces when she was pregnant with the twins. Bell and Gretters were also blessed in this dress. Lady was blessed in Aunt Dawn's dress because we needed two dressed for twins, of course.
Dress with the matching bonnet.

and Proud Mommy
We invited all the family over for brunch and served Grandma Bonnie's famous breakfast casseroles, Mommy's cinnamon rolls and fresh fruit. Definitely NOT diet fare! It was a wonderful day and reminded us of the importance of family.
