The Cake:

It was my goal that I was going to make McKayla's cake for her dedication. I had a couple of ideas in my head and saw a few online, but just kind of had it come together as I went. The beginning was a rough start, and then Dan chipped in and helped the whole time until it was finished. Needless to say the kitchen was a disaster when we were finished and there was powdered sugar all over!!! :o) But we are very happy with the results!

The end result! A BEAUTIFUL cake just like our little girl!

Getting ready in the morning. Grandma Drenth came to the house to help!

Looking so beautiful in my dress and full of smiles!

Family picture! Someone is already for her hat to come off!

The luncheon following the service with friends and family. We had pulled pork that uncle Bennett smoked in his smoker and it was .... mmmmmm good!

Hanging out with uncle Bennett and aunt Felicia.

Opening gifts. McKayla very interested in her cards.

Me by my cake!

Mom and me hanging out!

This is one of the bible verses we picked for McKayla for her dedication. This is our prayer for her.

Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all

your ways acknwledge him and he will make your paths straight. (Provers 3:5-6)

The second verse we choose was

Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow. Lead me by your

truth and teach me, for you are the God who saves me. All day long I put my hope in you.

(Psalm 25:4-5)
