Abby and Emma are excited about Abby’s dedication. We dedicate all of our babies to the Lord. But with all of the moving around we did during the last 5 years (her whole life), we never got settled at any church long enough to do it with Abby. So I decided to have her dedicated at our church that we’ve found that we really like, New Life Church in Houston, even though she is already 5 years old, almost 6.
I found this dress at Goodwill. I got accessories to go with it at Walmart.
After church, we went home and Kelsey continued to prepare the treats for her birthday party.
She made all of the treats based on video games that the kids have all played. These cupcakes are based on Starcraft. They have minerals on top of them, like the ones they mine in the game.
These are gas geysers from Starcraft.
These are Piranha Plants from Mario Brothers.
This is the kind of cake that the friends in Animal Crossing give to each other for their birthdays.
These stars are from Mario Brothers.
We had quite a spread!
Protoman is ready to party!
Yum, can we eat yet?
It’s finally time to start the party. And she’s on the phone.
Any day now…
Morgan is cool.
Grandma and Grandpa are ready for this party to start.
Abby is on a sugar high.
We were all amazed at all of the things that Kelsey made. We all took pictures of them.
We surprised Kelsey with the thing she wanted most of all. The Limited Edition Legend of Zelda Wii U. She was very excited. She screamed!!! You can watch her reaction here:
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
