Avery's Orange County Dedication











It's been awhile since we've updated and alot has happened! We had a great week away for Thanksgiving, visiting Orange County for Avery's dedication with family and then back to Lompoc with Guy's family. Avery was a champ with all the driving and meeting so many new people! We had a great time seeing so many special people and celebrating Avery's life together. There are lots of great pictures from her dedication and I wish we could post them all, but there is only room for a few. I'll do a few posts to get in more pictures. Avery's dedication was on Sunday, November 22nd at the chapel at St. Andrew's. Our dear friend from Young Life, Twiggs Reed, led the dedication and we shared the time with 25 dear family and friends. It was a wonderful celebration with our sisters reading scripture picked out for Avery, our parents reading blessings they had written for her and a time of group prayer over her life. The dedication was followed by a gathering at Christie's parent's house where we enjoyed food, drinks and laughter with Avery. One of the highlights from the day is that Avery wore two family christening outfits- one from each side of Christie's parent's families- handed down over generations. Here are a few pictures from that special day.
