Mother's Day and Alli's Dedication

I had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. It started at church with Allison's baby dedication. I think it is so special that our church does these dedications on this special day. As I get to celebrate being a mom and having these kiddos in my life, the act of dedication reminds me of the gift God has entrusted to me. Blake and Allison are not mine but God's and He has given me and Brent the privilege and responsibility of raising them up in the Lord. I am so thankful for them and pray they come to know Jesus early in their lives.
After church we had lunch at my parents house with the whole family as a Mother's day/ Allison dedication party. Then we crashed and after naps, we went out to dinner at a local seafood restaurant. All in all it was a great day! Now to what you really want....the pictures :)

Allison's dedication dress is a family heirloom. It was worn by my mom, sister, me and all my sister's girls for our dedications. I am so thankful my little girl could wear it too!
