Lilly's Dedication

Last Thursday night Lilly was dedicated at church! Our church does dedications a little differently because it is so large. They do a special service just for the dedication about 4 times a year. We were in the largest group yet! There were about 50 babies dedicated that night. So they split up the group into two services Thursday night. It was so great! I love these special memories we are making and it was wonderful to dedicate Lilly to the Lord and dedicate ourselves to raising our family up in the Lord. My Mimi and Grandad came up and they took this picture when they got there. By the way these pictures are all from my Grandad! Of course, I forgot my camera at the house and I wouldn't have been able to take pictures anyway.

This is the dress Lilly wore. My mom made it and it was absolutely gorgeous!

Getting ready at the church. Mimi and Grandad gave Lilly a cross necklace that she wore.

During the service. The bow didn't last long :)

This is when we went up front with her. Chip, our pastor, prayed with us and for us.
Mimi and Lilly. This is a special picture because Lilly is named after Mimi. Both of their middle names are Claire.

Special little girl.

I have to say that Lilly did great during the service considering it was after her bedtime. Wyatt did well also. However, he got sick during the service and started running a fever. He was quite clingy at that point. He is feeling better now though. Overall it was a great night!
