Grammy this is for you.
CB wore the knitted dress that her grammy made for her to church today. It is soooo Caroline! Jeff says she look like the little girl from Narnia when she wears it.
I love this dress on her and could have her wear it everyday. At church when she was on my lap I just kept thinking of all the hours it took to make this, and the many places she was when she worked on it. I love love handmade items. Even though it is rarely cheaper to make anything these days, I stand by my love of a homemade, sentimental item. Thanks Grammy.

It shows that your Mother-in-law loves you, Kristi, to make that darling dress for Caroline. She knows how much you, as well as your daughter, will appreciate it. The pictures are so cute, and the dress is amazing.

That is wonderful! I have just started to learn how to knit and look forward to the day when I can make heirlooms for my girls like this one!
