The front of Hali's blessing dress
The back of the dress
A close up of the detail on the top of the dress.
The dress maker and the dress model.I just have to brag on Hali's little blessing dress, isn't is beautiful? My mom made it! I am very lucky she is so talented in sewing! Six years ago when my first nephew was born my mom made his little tuxedo. She then made two dresses for my nieces and two more tuxedos for my other nephews. So you can see the pattern - my mom has gotten herself into a very special tradition. Before Hali was even born my mom and I looked around for material and different things to use on the dress. We also looked at lots of other blessing dresses and ways to make it. My mom brought it yesterday morning before we blessed Hali and I couldn't be any happier with how it turned out. Not only is it beautiful, but it fits like a glove! I think it is such a special thing to tell Hali that her grandma made her little dress! Thanks again mom!

The dress looks great Lindsey. Sorry that I couldn't make it. I really wanted to go. At least we were represented right?!?
Linds, it was such a great day. Thanks for inviting us and letting us be a part of it.
Like she made that! That is amazing. How long did it take her? I think I'm doomed to all boys, but if I ever have a little girl, I might have to hire her!
PS. Are you guys really coming up??!! We are way pumped!
That dress was absolutely adorable! I still can't believe that your mom really made it. She is amazing! I'm glad we got to be there for Hali's blessing. You and Travis both did so great!
congrates on the new one!!!!! She is so dang good lookn' tell trav that she has to marry one of my boys and that he doesn't have to worry they will know all about hyperlight 520. Any way i am soo glad you guys are so happy! i wish i could have been there for the blessing but a pilgramage from Iraq is kinda hard around here. Good luck with everything. tell trav to e-mail me my e-mail is jakebundy@gmail.com or jakebundy@hotmail.com either one latter go big or go home trav
What a special day! I hope you'll put the dress in a shadow box and hang it in her room. My sister-in-law, Rachel has her's hanging up and I just think its such a neat thing. Especially since her grandma made it for her.
