Hi Cuties, Baby dedication at my daughter's church was this past Sunday. Here are the photos I promised you. The gown and bonnet, I made for Avery's dedication ,so Elanora wore it too. I hand embroidered it, tatting I purchased. Hope you like it.The baby without a bonnet is Avery, seven years ago. #1 my daughter Ashley and Nora #2-Elanora Jane #4 Grayson,Ashley and Nora #3 Family (them and Avery -Mason had already left church with my son and his family) #5 Avery, when she wore the gown #6 myself and husband with Nora

WOW! What a blessing.

You are blessed with a beautiful family! The gown and bonnet are adorable and everyone looks so happy. Best wishes to you all.

I don't have great grand-children, yet, but it will be passed down to Nora's children. Thank you for looking and commenting-Toogie

You did a wonderful job with the christening gown! What an adorable family!! Thank you for sharing your pictures. :)
A bit of trivia for you. Do you know why christening gowns are made so long? It is sometimes spoken and sometimes implied, that the baby should live long enough to be that tall. Of course that came about back when infant mortality was very high, but we all wish that for our families, don't we? :) Beautiful!

Yes, it does mean a lot to me, to get use out of it. It was lovely, up until after lunch, when the preacher's wife was holding her. Nora did her job and ended up with mustard color bm all over the skirt of it.LOL_it came out of the gown, so don't worry, it's ready to wear again.

Your daughter was a GORGEOUS baby. Wow!
