And not just because we are their kids. They do a special dedication for every baby, present them with a little Bible, have people prophesy over them and all that.<br /><br />When we lived in Mongolia and pastored our own church we had really special dedications for every baby, not just ours.<br /><br />But, now that we go to a big church the dedications are sort of mass dedications--all the families who had babies in the past year all go up at once and it's really short. We did that with our last two. However, my mom still made a beautiful reception afterwards at our house. :-)<br /><br />This time we really wanted a dedication the way we used to. So, we decided to invite out closest friends and do it at home. It was very special.<br /><br />We will probably still go up with the other families at our church dedication in June, because it's important that we participate in church on the corporate scale. But, this time we wanted everyone to have a chance to speak into his life and to celebrate his life.<br /><br />Oh, and I didn't capture all these moments. All the kids took all the grown-ups' cameras and snapped away. It was like the paparazzi was there!

We do something similar, publicly, at our church, where the leadership prophesies over each dedicated baby. But, your own ceremony is definitely more involved and special. Makes me wish we had done the same with each of our children!! I think you do well at capturing each memorable moment...
