Anya's Dedication

Yesterday at church we dedicated Anya to the Lord.  It was such a special day for our family.  I've been looking forward to this day since she was born.  You might ask, "What is baby dedication?  Why not baptism?"  Child dedication to us is when we, as parents, vow before the congregation and God that we will raise our daughter in the Lord, and that we will teach her about Jesus and pray that one day she will accept Him as Lord and Savior and get baptized. Yesterday was also a day when we acknowledged that Anya belongs to God and that she is His.  It was so refreshing to make this promise to God and brought us much encouragement to hear the support from our church family.







Anya wore her classic pink, poofy dress and looked adorable.  I was so glad it still fit her since it was a 0-3 month dress.  Ever since we got that dress I thought it would be perfect for her dedication day...and it totally was=)
After the service we had our family and a few friends over for brunch.  We had a great time and Anya enjoyed all of the love and attention...and gave her little friend Zeke tons of kisses!!
