Baby Blessing

Annick was blessed on December 4th. She wore the dress that I wore for my blessing. Both my sisters wore it as well. My grandmother made it and my aunt did the embroidery. I lay her on the white blanket my grandma gave to me for my blessing day. (I used it with Ryan as well.) Annick wore some little booties that were my grandma's when she was a baby--made by either her mother or grandmother. I felt a curious sense of connection to my family by having these little heirlooms, even though no family members could be with us for the event.
