My precious baby in her bonnet!
02.14.21 was Carolina June’s first Valentine’s Day! We picked this date for her dedication because it’s the date we got engaged and what better day to dedicate the one you love most back to the Lord than LOVE day! We prepared lunch at the house for after church.
Invitation:
Cross cupcakes!
And of course a little something to set the theme when you walk in! Sunday morning went perfectly...Carolina slept late which put her in a good mood and gave me plenty of time to get myself ready and last minute preparation. She woke up 20 minutes before we were leaving which was perfect amount of time to get her dressed and leave. Half way to church I fed her in the backseat lol not the first time and won’t be the last! I was hoping to avoid feeding her at church but she still got hungry. It was 37 degrees when we got there! All of our closest family came other than my brother in NY and my sweet nana who didn’t feel good.
Pics from the day! Here is the outfit she was supposed to wear:
But I decided even wrapped in a blanket it was just way too cold! Dumb Elsa froze Texas! My baby still looked cute in her valentines outfit…the only one that was warm enough lol
Part of her dedication! My cousin got the prayer on video.
Some pics a sweet friend took
They gave her a little pink bible with her name and a certificate of dedication! The pastor loves doing baby dedications and said he would love to baptize her when she chooses and marry her one day- hold on a minute my heart isn’t ready for that! But so sweet to think about her growing up here.
Carolinas fan club!

We went back to the house and ate and Carolina opened some gifts and played with her cousins. She was so good
Precious pillow my aunt made for her
Her little bible and certificate
Hard to see but there’s the sweetest lamb on the cover. All in all today was better and sweeter than anything I could have prayed for. I cried when we were at the front of the church about to present her. One of those moments where God has you backed into the rose bush and you think “wow. I remember when I prayed for what I have now” and there’s no other way to describe it. And totally undeserving. I know we didn’t do anything to deserve to be her parents, just like we didn’t do anything to deserve Gods love. We have to do the best with the blessings poured into us and pour Gods love into our little girl...Pastor Doug was right about that, one day if he has the privilege of marrying her it will be here quicker than we think.
Thank you Lord for the day you’ve made, the love between us the food before us and thank you for blessing it to our bodies
Amen
