This is the same dress Abby and Kate wore. I want to try and put up side by side pics of all three of them. I think when they are older I'll frame the dress with pictures of all the girl's blessing days. That way they won't all fight over who gets it. 
Family!
She was so happy to get that big poofy dress off.
Ahh, Sisters. They are all so different. I love it. Everyone has their own personality and look.
My side of the family.
Derek's side.
Abby was having a fit that day. This was the best one with her. I guess it makes it all the more real, right? :)We had my mom write down the blessing and a lady in the ward did as well. So we were able to get most of the blessing on paper. I typed it up today along with Kate's. Kate's was just pieces written down on scratch paper. Luckily Derek kept it in his scriptures so it didn't get lost, like Abby's. I hope to find that one of these days. I forgot to mention the great grandmother that Lily is named after (LaGean) is in a picture above on Derek's side. Here is Lily's sweet blessing:
Lily’s Baby Blessing-June 26, 2011
You have been surrounded by a strong family. By parents and grandparents and other family members who love you. We bless you with an overwhelming sense of importance of family. Strive to build and unify your family now and in the future. You were born in the covenant. As you are faithful, you will get all the rights and privileges of that blessing. You were given the name of your great-grandmother. You are blessed with certain characteristics she has. Strive without complaint in tasks. You will be a hard worker. You will serve selflessly as she does. You will have many opportunities to serve. As you take advantage of these opportunities, you will bless others and yourself. You will grow, develop and be strong. You will marry in the temple and have your own family. Take your responsibility as you should. We bless you with the spiritual gift of exceeding faith in Jesus Christ. Turn to the scriptures. Seek after other spiritual gifts. Develop them the best you can.
