The makings of a model

 I'm trying to play a bit of catch-up with my blog lately, so forgive the randomness of these posts. Here are  a few pictures we took of our little Annika in her blessing dress just a few days after she was blessed by her daddy while we were visiting Utah in June. Pictures from the actual blessing day will come shortly. These pictures make me giggle, because it can be such a process to try and take decent pictures of our kiddos these days. Either Annika is screaming after two minutes, or Olivia wants (or doesn't want) her picture to be taken. Love these two women!

So sweet. Looking at Grandma while getting dressed.

"Where's that big sister of mine? I love her." 


Yes, I'm cute.

"Um, excuse me, big sis." Lots of love in this house. I love the interaction between these two.

Take one. "Got to stretch out that neck, girl."

Take two. "Not so serious now."

Take three: "That's more like it."

Take four: "Perfect! We got the whole dress and you smiled!"

Take five. "Spoke too soon. Don't cry. Don't cry."

Take six: "Dress looks good and tastes good."

Take seven: One of our favorite details on Annika's dress. She's our little Dragon baby, according to the Chinese zodiac. Just like her daddy. 

Take eight: "Love that chub."

Take nine: "Our favorite!"

These are gorgeous! Love the dress and the dragon pin on the back is the perfect touch.
