Lydia's Blessing

We blessed Lydia yesterday at church. Brian gave a beautiful blessing with both of our dads, Bishop Arnold and Bro. Hernandez in the circle. We loved having family and friends join us.
We were blessed to have both sets of grandparents, Aunt Natalie, Uncle Bobby, and Aunt Jessica attend.

Brian's friend from work, Justin, came also.

Here's the girl of the hour in her outfit. My aunt Cheryl made the dress. It's the one I wore for my blessing and it's made from the leftover material from my mom's wedding dress. The necklace is from Gawbie and the bracelet from Aunt Jessica. The blanket was made by Lydia's Great Great Grandmother Ginos.
My mom embroiders the name and date of each girl who was blessed in the dress on the slip....me, my sister, my niece, and now Lydia.It was a beautiful day. Thanks to all those who came and those who were thinking of us!

Love the dress and all the names on the slip. What a great way to remember blessing days and all the sweet babies that have worn it. Glad so many of your family members were able to attend. You are loved by so many Lydia! Happy blessing day.
