Dedication Service

It was another bitterly cold evening, and one great-grandpa's birthday, when we all assembled for the dedication of our favourite boy. There were many babies and toddlers, and lots of excited relatives, happy to be present to add their prayers for all good things to the ones being spoken. You will see one young man in every picture but the first. Of course, he was the centre of attention for our family and friends. He performed very well, and seemed to enjoy all the excitement, even if the event ended past his usual bedtime. We love you, baby boy!

The stage was set with hundreds of balloons, on an underwater theme (so there were fish balloons too.)

Mom, Dad, and the star of the show, all dressed up in his khakis.

Self-proclaimed favourite aunt (she had competition that night), boyfriend, and the family.

Visitors from the States travelled up for the occasion.

The boy, his parents, and his paternal grandparents.

The boy, his parents, and his maternal grandparents.

Some of the kissing cousins! They really love this young man.

This baby boy, along with his two girl cousins, is so fortunate. He has four great-grandparents who love him. They all were able to come to help him celebrate his special day. (The birthday boy is second from the left.)

We are all so blessed!
