On Sunday afternoon, Grace finally had a chance to wear her 'party dress' at my cousin's engagement party. It was given to Grace for Christmas last year and I was beginning to think she would outgrow it before she would be able to wear it.
Last week Paul bought a digital SLR camera (which I am itching use when I have a spare moment). He bought it mainly for taking photos at motor sport events with the zoom lens where as I am looking forward to using it for shots to use on my blog and for being able to put into practice some of what I learnt in the Blogging Your Way course I have participated in. After the engagement party, we let Grace have a run around in the backyard to try and get some cute shots while she was still in her pretty dress. Here are a few photos...
Amanda, Grace is just gorgeous! And what a lovely pic of the two of you. Enjoy the camera! :) Son x

ReplyDeleteawwww how gorgeous are you and Grace in that photo and that dress is so cute:) love it !! xx
ReplyDeleteOh Amanda, your little Grace is an absolute doll! She looks so beautiful in her lovely party dress:) Hugs to you and your sweet Grace ~ Tina xx
ReplyDeleteShe is looking as pretty as her mum. I miss those days of dressing up my daughter & following her around the garden with the camera. She still loves to twirl in a pretty dress at age 7 still (thankfully she is very much in love with "pretty " still , even though some of her friends are going down the black road already , I shudder at the thought).

ReplyDeleteShe looks adorable! I know what it's like with those "special" dresses. I am so glad I had another little girl so some of Matilda's dresses can be worn more than once or twice :)
ReplyDeleteI love the dress, Grace looks so sweet in it! The photo of the two of you is really lovely too, I can definitely see her Mum in that little face :)
ReplyDeleteHope you get a chance to play with the new camera soon :)
Grace is gorgeous and so is her party dress :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't she look gorgeous! In fact you both do. SLR investment well worth it I'd say :)
ReplyDeleteGrace is adorable!
ReplyDeleteMake the most of the dress wearing. I can't get my 13 yo out of jeans and my 9 yo is heading that way too. You've got me pining for the days when I got to dress them!
