The Sunday after Thanksgiving, November 27, was Carl's dedication. We've recently become more and more involved at our church and were excited to dedicate Carl in front of (almost) all of our family, our friends and our new church family. Carl was a little ham. He was in such a good mood and showed everyone is smiley face. Some thing just caught his eye and made him happy! As mentioned in the previous post, our good friends Tim and Lori, Carl's godparents, came all the way from Illinois to help celebrate with him. We were so blessed they were able to make it and stand with us for the dedication.

After the church service, we enjoyed lunch and cake at our place to continue the festivities. Brianna just couldn't get enough of Tim. She took an instant liking to him from the moment they got to our place - it's hard not too, he's so playful! The special Red Velvet cake from Woulette's was also a hit.
Any great celebration isn't complete without a cozy nap. He was a trooper during church but took a well deserved nap before opening gifts. Gammie was kind enough to snuggle with him. She asked if I wanted her to lay him down, but thought that it was his dedication day and he should be spoiled. I think it was the right choice!
Thank you to everyone for coming and blessing us on this very special day, even a midst the holiday weekend. We are so grateful for your love, support, and prayer for our entire family.
