Little Miss Alice

Alice's Blessing

Mark blessed Alice today.  She wore the same dress that Claire and Ella wore.  I think great grandma Dye was inspired to make a dress for Mark's girls to wear someday. 

I saw a picture of these shoes on the internet.  I knew they would be perfect for her blessing day. 

It took me a while to find a pattern for them, then even longer to learn to crochet them.  I think they turned out good considering they are the first thing I've ever crocheted.  Believe it or not the hardest part was the green leaf.  I some how made the right shoe bigger then the left, it is constantly falling off.   I tried to blame her feet, saying her right foot is smaller then the left, but no one believed me.

Mark gave her a nice blessing.  Blessing her with a love of learning and a desire to get an education.  An understanding of the gospel and a desire to receive all the priesthood ordinances.  A love for her two older sisters, that they will be good friends and support for each other. Lots of patience for her new family.  

I feel very blessed to have this little one complete our family.  It amazes me how well she fits into our family.       Claire and Ella love her to pieces.  They are always right in her face.   I get worried that they will smother her.  But she loves it.  She has started smiling when you talk to her.  I usually have to make a fool of myself to get a smile,  but Claire and Ella just has to look at her and she grins from ear to ear.  I have a feeling these girls are going to be good friends growing up.  Although with 3 girls the teenage years might get a bit dicey.
