Blessing Dress Photo Shoot

A couple of days after the blessing, Elyse woke up at about 5:00AM. Not totally uncommon, but normally she just goes back to bed. This morning I decided that I would keep her awake and go and take some pictures. I had Muriel's (my mother in law) really great camera and we had ourselves a little photo shoot in the gorgeous morning light. Elyse was so happy and it was nice to not have so much “Help” from Haylee and Addilyn.




The Dress
My sister in law Jill made this beautiful dress from a picture I found on a British Christening web site. It is amazing and looks just like the original. Thanks again Jill!
