Olivia's blessing and spending time together

While we were up in Michigan we were able to do Olivia's baby blessing. Our niece was also had her baptism so she was kind enough to share a small part of her day with Olivia. 
I was pretty impressed that I was able to get her dress done on time. I do confess that I didn't have enough time to do the buttons on the back, but none the less she looked beautiful in her white blessing dress. Gramma Kris had saved some of my wedding dress material so I was able to make most of her dress from my material which was pretty special :) 
After all the festivities I think everyone was ready for some down time and just relax and enjoy time visiting one another. Eric and his brother Jason decided to go for a run for old times sake. I wouldn't say it was too relaxing but they seemed to have a fun time with it. 
Later that evening we had fun playing outside and visiting around a little fire. 
Eric and I made some homemade lemonade for everyone and it was a pretty big hit. It was nice a refreshing for a warm July evening. 
Mark and Kris had some goodies from Europe that they shared and passed around. A little later we played a game and had a nice relaxing evening outside.
The kids had fun playing all kinds of games and I believe we had no big mishaps or arguments!
