It’s In the Details

I love the little things that make something wonderful become perfect. In the case of Kaili’s blessing outfit, I loved these shoes and the beautiful embroidery on the dress:

Oh, and I didn’t mention before, but Virginia’s mom handmade the dress with the fabric she used to make Virginia’s wedding dress. Talk about a precious keepsake! And so beautiful too!

P.S. I’m now officially done posting Kaili’s blessing pictures. I hope you enjoyed them!

Fathers Be Good to Your Daughters

I love this John Mayer song, but not nearly as much as I love these shots we got of Morley with his precious daughter:

So precious!

Keep holding on

Blessed Kaili

We attended Kaili’s wonderful baby blessing last week. It was beautiful, and was a reminder of what a great blessing Kaili is, not to mention what a miracle she is. I had the privilege of taking some pictures of her in her blessing dress:

I Keep Doing the Same ‘Do

I can’t help but do this ‘do every chance Cassie gives me:

Ringing In the New Year

To celebrate New Years Eve this year, Steven took the girls “camping.” They built a fire:

Warming their hands by the fire

Roasted Marshmallows for S’Mores:

Ate the S’Mores, sans chocolate and graham crackers:

Mmmm...marshmallows

Then snuggled down in anticipation for midnight. Which lasted until roughly 10:30, when the girls got so tired that we ended up putting them in their own beds. I’d say it was a success.

What fun things does your family do New Years Eve? And did you make it until midnight?
