Easter Sunday was the day Brystal got blessed in our Church. Gerald gave her a beautiful blessing. Both grandmas came, Dickson and Secody, as well as Great Grandma Begay. After the blessing we celebrated Easter dinner at Brittany's house. We had ham with Tatortot casserole and salad. Gigi, my mom likes to be called that rater than grandma, was so excited for Brystal's first Easter. She put Brystal in her Easter Basket. It was so cute. Brystal is also on the verge of laughing. Any week now she will be. For those of you who don't know, in the Navajo Tradition, when a baby laughs it is a big deal, as big of a deal as a wedding. It's because baby brings a balance of life and we celebrate her happiness in this world. They believe who ever makes baby laugh, baby will inherit some characteristics of that person, and that person then has to cook for everyone. At the dinner there will be salt and sugar for baby to touch and place on everyone's plate too. Gerald has been trying his hardest to get baby girl to laugh.
she is so adorable! thanks for sharing the navajo tradition of baby's first laugh.
