K Baby Dedication

In June, we did Khloe’s baby dedication at church. Baby/Child dedication is just a special time when parents come before their church family with a desire to say that we will raise our child up to know God and serve Him, that we want to thank God for entrusting this precious life to us and that we want to dedicate this child to Him.

We pray that Khloe will love God with her whole heart all the days of her life! Our church is so amazing and does the coolest and most special dedication service! We got to record voice overs for our children ahead of time for the dedication service. I still can’t watch it without crying. This was one of the most special moments we have experienced with our precious Khloe.

Before the service started, we had just enough time to go snap a few pictures outside.

Rachel and I took the family pics of each other’s families.

What a beautiful family my sweet hubby and I have been blessed with! I am so thankful!!!

What’s better than sweet sisters in matching outfits? Not much, I tell you. I waited a L.O.N.G time to be able to do this! :)

I have to include this pic of our sweet, wonderful, awesome (and down right photogenic!) friends The Benningtons! So thankful for these 5!! Don’t know what we’d do without them!

Here’s the video of our portions of the dedication service

After church, we loaded up and headed back to our house for a family/friend BBQ to celebrate sweet Khloe and MaeLynn.

As I was going through all these pictures I realized that I never took my camera around to get pictures of everyone :( That makes me SO sad :( I remember that just as I was grabbing it to go outside and get some pics, it had started raining and everyone was coming inside. Then everyone was getting ready to leave and I just forgot. Darn it! I’m recording who was in attendance just so I don’t forget those very special people who were here to celebrate with us! It’s important for me to remember so I can tell Khloe one day when I document everything about her life for her!

It was our family and the Benningtons, MeMe and PaPa, Nanny, Poppy, Ela, Tre, Ma Ma Dennie and Aunt Adele from Louisiana, and our friends The Hutchisons and the Burleighs. Everyone drove a long ways and took the time to come celebrate with us and to make our sweet baby girl feel special. We are so thankful for each person who came!!!

We did get pics of the girls with their cake, which was super cute. They weren’t really sure what to do with it at first, but it didn’t take them long to figure it out!

Mae says, “Girl! Here, you’ve just GOT to try this purple one! It’s amazing!!”

Khloe got tired of sitting so far away from the cake, so she decided to make herself comfy right next to it! Trust me, little Mae was trying to figure it out too! :)
