Marjorie's Blessing

On Sunday June 30, 2013, Dan gave Marjorie a blessing in our ward. Marjorie wore the same blessing gown I wore as well as my brothers and cousins. My great grandma made it for me when I was a baby and I absolutely love the tradition of the babies in our family wearing the same gown.
In the pleats, all of the babies blessed in the gown have had their names and birthdays added. Mine is first...
And Marjorie's in at the end of the same panel the Ames kids are on...
It comes with a sweet little bonnet, handmade shoes and a jacket that goes over the robe. Marjorie didn't wear the jacket since it was so hot. And the shoes unfortunately were a little too small for her feet. 
Here's everyone who came to the blessing, Poppa, Libby, Jan, Kate, Dan, Bill, me, Mom and Dad.
Four generations, five with the dress made by Mamo.

It was a very sweet day celebrating our baby girl.
