Family tradition

Neither John or I are religious so we're not planning on having Meredith baptised. However, the Vine family has passed down a baptism dress that was crocheted in 1917 for my grandfather by his mother. My mom and I also wore it (my sister was too big for it by the time she was baptised). My mom really wanted to get a picture of Meredith wearing the dress so we could continue the family tradition. I think it's very special that Merrie's wearing a dress made by her great-great grandmother almost 100 years ago :)

Beautiful dress! That's amazing that she gets to wear a dress with so much history.
