It's a beautiful life.. most of the time!

When Dana, my sister, was 4 my grandmother bought her this dress. Here is a picture of her... how CUTE IS THIS. I LOVE this picture. The funny thing is I think Dana looks exactly the same. You can look at her baby pictures and tell who it is. Isn't this adorable! After so many years, we wont say how many.. tee hee hee... the dress is still in excellent condition.

My mom had the idea to have Dana photograph both of the granddaughters in the dress.( I wish I would have had the cute thing that my mom made for Dana's hair to put in their hair. That would have made them perfect.) Dana did a fabulous job on these pictures. They are so cute!

Here is my beautiful niece Belle. She is so opposite of Carma. She wasn't excited about the dress or taking the pictures. She had to be bribed. But they turned out so beautiful anyway. I think she had fun in the end too.

Carma was SO excited when she saw the dress. She carried around held it up to her and twirled around and danced with it. It was so hilarious. She was equally excited about taking pictures in the dress. She posed for us. I have to admit, it isn't easy getting good pictures of this girl. Not because she isnt' beautiful, but b/c she is so fast. She goes from one facial expression to the next in milliseconds and holds a pose for no more than a second. But Dana managed to get some really cute ones. Carma is SUCH a cutie pie, I just want to squeeze her! There is definitely only one Carma. I know she is my daughter, and I am biased, but I have never met a child so innocent, imaginative and sweet as she is. I am truly blessed to be her mama.
