Gabriella's Baby Dedication

Our church has a Baby Dedication every spring. Gabriella wasn't born in time for the one last year, so we had her dedicated this past Sunday, May 17. There were 7 other babies dedicated, including Cousin Madison. The Baby Dedication started with a nice dinner and cake. Then each family was called up one by one. Matt and I dedicated ourselves as parents to raise Gabriella in a Godly way, to teach her God's values, and teach her to have a relationship with God. Pastor David prayed for Gabriella, Matt, and me. Gabriella was given a Bible, an envelope to open on her Baptism day, and a Little People Bus (for fun). Our mentors, Lynn and Gary, were super nice and I know they'll be there if we need them. Gabriella was being a definite busy body. I spent most of the time chasing her around...good thing we were first to go! Here are a few pictures of her at the dedication:

Having fun walking up the little hill with Andrew. Neither wanted to sit still.

Excited to be on the go!
Her Little People Bus finally got her to sit down for a while.
