Bear’s 2nd Birthday/Dedication Celebration

Bear’s birthday was on a Sunday this year and it just so happened that it was also the day he was dedicated at church.  Before the dedication we had the family over for a little dessert party. 

I made a special cake for the boys.

And the adults had the super yummy cakes from Aunt Mandy.

Jack loved having Uncle Jer around!

He’s always happy when family is over.

Tickle time with Nana and Papa.

Jack and David.

Bear knew just what to do with the candles.

After dessert we headed over to the church for the dedication.  They had this table set up for our group.  I loved the books that they gave to Bear and also that they had coloring books, crayons and lots of snacks to keep the kiddos busy during the ceremony.

There were several kids being dedicated that day and they had pictures of each one with their families on different screens throughout the room.

Brotherly love.

Other than Jackson Bear’s two favorite people are Ellie and Charlie (and when Keanan is mobile I’m sure he’ll be added to that list!).

The Hirst family had just arrived home from Disney World the night prior.  Despite being exhausted they still made it for Bear’s special day.  They are, of course, like family so it meant so much to have them there.

My fav girl Ellie.

Pals Bear and Charlie.

One of my all time favorite people, Grandmommy!

By the end of the dedication Bear was totally over it and getting grumpy.  I guess it’s kind of a tradition for him to be unhappy on his birthday.  Poor little guy is having a tough time with those two year molars.

A rare shot of the 4 of us together, too bad Bear wouldn’t smile.

While we had such an awesome day we definitely missed Nanny and Paw Paw who had come down for the dedication on Friday and had to leave suddenly Saturday morning when Nanny got really sick with the flu. 
Baron Isaiah Adams, we love you so very much and it was an honor to dedicate you.  We have prayed for you since before you were born and know that God has big plans for you.
