Dressed in White

About a week and a half ago Madi made Lacey's hair look curly and beautiful, and then she took her out for a photo shoot in her new baptism dress. Lacey withstood the cold (while barefoot and wearing short sleeves) and tolerated Madi's commands, and the results, to me, were worth the torture of winter weather and big-sister-bossiness.
Madi continues to amaze me with her talents. I am in love these pictures she took of Lacey - I can't even choose a favorite. Of course, I love them all.

We went shopping for Lacey's baptism dress when we were in Utah over the summer because I knew it would be difficult to find a white dress in the winter. We had such a fun day shopping with Lacey's Aunt Janae and cousin Ava, who was also looking for a baptism dress. Lacey tried on many beautiful white dresses, but this one was her absolute favorite, so this is the dress that we brought home. It has been sitting in my closet since July, just waiting for the day when Lacey would wear it for her baptism - and that day is tomorrow!

LaRae - this is your cousin Ashley (Woodbury)! These pictures are gorgeous! I had to come look at your blog because Kimmy told me today in church that she couldn't believe how much I look like Lacey, so I had to come and see for myself how cute she was. I'm glad someone thinks I resemble such a beautiful girl! Wow -- look out for her! She's so so pretty. Congratulations on her baptism - she looks so pure and radiant. Thank you LaRae for that beautiful post about Grandma Jo - I cried when I read it. What a perfect tribute to her. Hope we can get together with you and the rest of the family soon :)

I have a blog, but haven't written in it in a while - although I'm determined to start up again. The address is peelburys.blogspot.com
