Lila's Blessing

Lila's blessing day was a great day! We had lots of family come up to Kamloops, Kal's parents, his brother Greg and his wife Brandi and their kids, my brother Tyler, my Mom and Scott and my Step sister Amanda, Kal's Aunts, Carla and Laura also came. Kalvin gave Lila a beautiful blessing, blessing her with many wonderful gifts.
We then came back to our house after sacrament meeting and had a big lunch before every one had to hit the road to go back home. It was so nice to be able to be so close to our families again so that we could share this day with them.
Lila's blessing gown was actually made up of two separate gowns. The lace on on top was what I wore when I was blessed as a baby and the one underneath was my Grandpa Dickinson's from when he was Christened. His Mother made it, so it is like 87 years old. And the white blanket you see in the picture was knit by my Grandma Newton, who is my Step Father's mother.




The day before Lila's blessing, sleeping so peaceful!

Gorgeous dress(es). My babes were blessed this Sunday too, and though they weren't sleeping like little angels they were alert angels.
