Pretty in Pink

This is me ^  

In this picture I'm wearing my blessing dress. It's pink, and I love it. My grandma made it for me to wear on my blessing day. I REALLY wanted Joelle to wear it when she was blessed too, but she was too small, being only 3 weeks old, at the time.

This picture of me was always called 'the Elvis picture' because of the funny thing I'm doing with my lip. Is it a smile? A smirk? Who knows, but when I was little it looked like the Elvis lip to me so that's what I called it.  I really liked having this picture of myself to compare to Joelle. Since I've already had 2 Joe-clones I really wanted a little Jessica-clone in our family. After all, I did most of the work getting them here.

Today is Easter. It just so happened that this dress fit her today. I tried my best to re-create 'the elvis' picture. I think it's a really sweet way to illustrate how special certain events or memories are. But Joelle doesn't do the weird lip thing, she smiles instead.  I can't call this an Elvis picture because she's too cute! She is definitely much more adorable than I was, and that makes me happier than having a me-clone. I want her to have only the best parts of me. Someday she's going to grow up to be a better person than I am, and that's exactly how it should be.
So what's better than Elvis?
