In our church, instead of baptism, we give new babies a blessing. Both of our families were kind enough to make the long trip to be a part of this special day. Unfortunately, because of the massive snowstorm, church was canceled. So, we decided to have the blessing in our home.
It turned out to be a really nice, intimate setting. The sun was shining, the snow was beautiful and Shiloh did an incredible job.
We started the day out with a bath. Harper loved the warm water, so we let her lounge a while.
After a little nap we got her dressed, enjoying every little button and the adorable little white shoes that were almost too small. I found a sweet little headband that offered just the right amount of frill to the outfit.
Grandma Jan helped fill Harper so she would be nice and happy for the blessing.
A few group shots:
As usual, my brother, Ben, was our photographer. I took a few pictures, but the best ones came from him -- here are some of our favorites. Others can be found here.
We're so grateful for this little girl.

okay, first off... she is DARLING. i so wish i could come hold her! second, i love blessing babies at home. something so sweet about it. and third... can i just say that I LOVE HOW SIMPLE HER HEADBAND IS! so many people put on way huge bows and frills and i just adore how simple this is. (i am not a huge bow/flower gal. if you couldn't tell) when i have a girl i am going to come to you for where you got that. it is just perfect. oh she is so cute!
hope you are doing well!!
Such a sweet perfect face! Really, she is adorable!
She is adorable and I am with you on the simple headbands, I have never been a fan of the poofy ones. Blessings at home can be a blessing in disguise. Maybe next time Ben is over we can convince him to take some shots of my kids wink wink! PS I love her dress!
So precious!
oh my holy cuteness. i love the 2nd pic from the bottom of her yawning. definitey (prob) a memorable-snowed-in blessing.
