Samuels dedication

Today was Samuel dedication and we had a lovely day with friends and family. Both Samuel and Abigail behaved. and the buffet after went well. But most importantly it was a day were we got to celebrate and say thank you for the wonderful gift of Samuel who along with Abigail just make each day all the better. And every bad night every temper tantrum its all worth it for the most amazing smile or cuddle. We are very fortunate that we have received the gift of two wonderful and healthy children and for that we count our blessings every day.

The service was lovely and my Uncle came to lead the dedication which was great as he dedicated me a long time ago. The singing compa

ny sang a beautiful song called welcome to the family which Rachel sang at Abigail's dedication. So in all it was the perfect way to say thank you for Samuel and welcome him into the family.

It was also the first Sunday in advent were we celebrate the greatest gift off all so what better time to have his dedication although someone did wonder if its cause we like Christmas carols as our record for Christmas speaks for it self. I did always say i would get married at Christmas because its my favorite time of year but also because i thought it would be romantic i did actually want to get married on Christmas eve but that was unpractical. The getting engaged was not my choice of date and originally Ste had thought he would ask me on new years eve but so glad he changed his mind as boxing day was perfect. Abigail's arrival actually should have been Jan but i had to have her Early so blame the doctors. but with all the other things happening when else could Sam have been dedicated although it was Ste that wanted it at Christmas i initially just thought oh all that extra to do when were busy anyway but i am so glad i let him have his way because it couldn't have been more fitting. But sorry to disappoint i don't thing were doing anything but having a normal family Christmas next year.
