This past weekend Addison participated in the Baby Dedication at our church. We met our family at the church, listened to Pastor Russ pray over our baby girl, and we came back to our house for a mini-celebration.
We planned a lot of little details that made the day special for our family of THREE!
I picked out this sweet pink corduroy and smocked dress for Addison to wear...
But what made it even more special was that we sewed the ivory cross that her great great grandfather made to the inside of the dress.
Here is our family of THREE during the service...
At our house after the service, we ate lunch, enjoyed family, and continued to celebrate our sweet little girl. Here is the table we set up with a cake and our special Blessing Jar...
We had all our guests write a special blessing for Addison, tie it up, and place it in the jar. One day, when she's old enough to read, we'll show her the blessings and let her read them.
Addi opened a few unexpected gifts from her family...
It was certainly a blessed day. We are SO thankful for Addison's sweet little life and every day seems to get better and better because of our little blessing.

What a sweet and special memory!
When our girls were dedicated at our church, I cried so much. It's such an emotional day and reminded me so much of what special blessings they are.
She is adorable! Love the cross sewn into the dress! What a special day! Congrats to your family!
She's gorgeous! Congrats and God bless your family!
I love the idea of the blessing jar. I actually made each of my kids' families one for Christmas and want them to write down all of their blessings for 2014 and then read them on New Year's Eve next year. Also got each family the book 'The Blessing Jar' to go with. I love her dress. It looks so soft and cozy!
