DEDICATION

We got Dion dedicated at our church on Sunday.  It’s always a very special day for us.

 We felt so encouraged to do and be the best parents we can for him.  

  Now moving on to the celebration after at our place. All these pictures were taken in a mad rush before the service. As the whole family is loaded -up in the car my hubby comes in the house and says
 ” What are you doing?? – We gotta go!! ” 

Ok I’m always late. Today was NOT a day we could be late. We had to save seats for 25 people. And if I remember correctly we were late for Levi’s dedication.. 

BUT, I’m happy to report we were at church 15 minutes early!

(- After I jumped into the car and ripped my new dress half way up my leg –  I wore it anyways 😉 

My husband thought I was crazy because I started decorating two weeks before.

 Vintage tea cups are on the top of my favorite things..

I was inspired by a blog I came across that had similar colors.. 

When I went to the fabric store and saw the two fabrics in the clearance section for a whopping $3.00 a yard I was pretty darn excited to start creating!! All I did was add little black bobble tassles to the ends and voila!

Poor Levi would wake up every morning and say ” Dion’s Party! ” as he walked past the table, set up with jars full of candy. He’s such a good boy he not once tried to get into it…

But on that day when he was finally allowed, I’m pretty sure I caught him at least 3 times in the candy jars..

 These were the favor bags everyone got to take home full of candy.

 I made everything home made, which included: Yellow and white Meringue, Macaroons, Lemon squares, Chocolate chip cookies, cupcakes and the good ol Dream bars

I had the idea to get everyone to write Dion a blessing. Then I would put it in his Keepsake box for him to read when he’s older. The only problem – I forgot to get everyone to do it!!!! 

sigh…
