Blessing Day

Last Sunday, my 2 month old cousin Savannah was blessed. A blessing is basically a dedication of a child to her church and to the church’s records, and also a welcome from the congregation to the child.  Her beautiful dress was hand made by her mother and her Aunt.  We couldn’t take pictures of the blessing itself, but after church, we had a family barbeque and I did a photoshoot with Savannah in her living room!

 

Presenting the lady of the hour, Savannah:

This is my daughter, Arianna (the toothless one) and Savannah’s sister, Salina, holding the baby.  Arianna and I fight over who gets to hold any baby that we are around…she usually wins the argument…

I love it when siblings show the (usually rare) display of affection.  This is Malachi loving on his little brother:
