The dress Bella is wearing was worn by my grandpa Yeager when he was christened and by Kate, Shelley and I. It is nearly a hundred years old. Bella looked like a porcelain doll with her pink cheeks, blue eyes, ribbon and pearls.Her mom, Summer, was a little worried she would be washed out by so much white and added a little tint to her cheeks. She's such a beautiful baby, although a little difficult to photograph becuase she is always tasting the air with her tongue or searching the room for new things with wide eyes that its hard to catch her relaxed. There were so many people there at the blessing luncheon that she just couldn't stop looking around (probably for mommy).
Such photogenic families! It was good to see everyone again! Doesn't seem like that long ago that Steve and Summer got married ( 11 months I think)!
Grandma Reiff (Brenda) and her daughters have had an assembly line going for little/big flowers, bows, bracelets, etc. for Bella! She is definitely not going to be mistaken for a boy! She has already had several fashion shows, although mommy says she will NOT be a model when she grows up! Good to get those priorities straight early! Education is much more important than looks! Looks are just a bonus!
I don't think Bella could have looked any more precious! She gets more and more beautiful everyday! She fell asleep on me after the luncheon and it didn't matter that she was a little heater or that my arms were falling asleep! I couldn't let go of that cuddly soft sweet baby! Congratulations Steve and Summer! That was a great blessing and really happy event!

It was such a great baby blessing!!! Bella looked fabulous!!! She is going to be a heartbreaker!!! The food was fantastic too. I only wish my kids hadn't been so tired from the River Cats Baseball game the night before. I loved the little bracelet Bella wore it went perfectly with the vintage family dress.
We were happy to see everyone, but sorry we had to leave so quick. We had naps to take for the girls and a setting apart at my parent's ward in only an hour and a half. The blessing was very sweet and everyone looked great.
Great pics of the blessing, Jenna. You are a great photographer. I look at the pics you take and the pics I took of you, Kate and Shelley and there is definitely something missing in the ones I took. It was a great blessing and fun experience all around! My family is the greatest!!!
She is SO cute!!
Bout time a granddaughter was born and the dress could be used again. Cool story.
