Ellen's Baby Dedication

Last weekend was Ellen's baby dedication at church.  Our dearest friends and family came as Drew and I recognized that Ellen is a gift from God and dedicated her to the Lord.  It was such a special morning.  We all went to church together and then gathered in the chapel for the dedication ceremony. 

This chapel is very special to us because eight years ago Drew and I were married in this very chapel.  It is so amazing to have pictures of us on our wedding day and then with our sweet baby Ellen in this chapel. 



 

After the dedication ceremony everyone headed over to our house for lunch.  We had smoked pork sandwiches, salad and of course watermelon.  It was a perfect day to gather together and celebrate.  I am so bummed that I didn't get more pictures of everyone that came.  Entertaining with a baby doesn't leave an extra hand for my camera.  :)

We are so thankful to God for blessing us with Ellen.  We were so happy to dedicate her to the Lord and commit to raise her in a Christian home. 

It was a blessed day!
