This is one of my favorite pictures from that day {me and my boy just before his dedication service started}. I love this baby more than words can do justice and am so, so, so blessed that the Lord chose me to be his mother.

The dedication itself took place on a covered outdoor patio at The Rushes. Chairs were set up for our guests to view the service, and we were able to stand in a place where the beautiful golf course was our backdrop. Reverend James Watson performed the dedication. He also married my husband and I two years ago and baptized me when I was 10!
My husband and I listening to Jim's beautiful service.
One of my little programs on my sister-in-law's lap.
Some of my family watching the service.
Jack couldn't stop talking during the service so his daddy had to have a little chat with him in the corner - haha. Love him!
Dean and his amazing Daddy.
After the service, everyone moved inside to a small private room for a breakfast buffet. I had a little table set up with Dean's picture, his cake, invitation, etc.
His first bible from Mommom & Pop.
Bo and I wanted to include a few yummy cocktails to compliment the breakfast buffet. Mimosas and Bloody Marys it was!
The waitresses buttlered them around the room for everyone to enjoy.
I loved this cake! An old church friend who is a very talented pastry chef made it for me. Not only did it perfectly coordinate with the invitation and coordinating items I made, but it was delicious! I added the cake topper for a little extra flare :-}
A little slice of heaven....vanilla bavarian with a fresh berry filling.
Each table held a centerpiece that I made along with a tented menu listing all of the eats for the day.
Family & friends enjoying their brunch!
Our sweet boy being loved by our wonderful families!
