BLOG - April 2013: Special Occasions

This past week was so hectic but it was such a blessing for our family.  My baby girl Denali is only two months old but since she was born we knew we wanted to dedicate her to The Lord.  And what's more, she was dedicated on Easter Sunday, so it's a day we won't soon forget.

Her godmother and Noemi decorated the church for the ceremony and her home for the celebration.  She did such an amazing job.  Noemi found two beautiful dresses for our baby girl (one white and one lime green) and decided to do the color theme based off of the dress colors.

She also created a little white crown for baby to wear during the ceremony.  Our baby was so adorable that day.  After the ceremony, my husband and I handed out little triangular shaped boxes that looked like angels and inside were coconut truffles (created by Noemi) then afterwards, we gathered at Noemi's house to celebrate the dedication.  She had a beautiful green and white table set with hors d'oeuvres ready for all the guests.

This is Noemi and her husband, Alex

The hors d'oeuvres consisted of small pieces of broccoli, cauliflower with a green ranch-like dip, some green grapes, white goat cheese, green olives and coconut truffles.  Also for drinks she provided green lime-aid.  Then for dinner there was the traditional puertorican food: white rice, beans, pork and yellow rice.  

All in all we had such a great time.  Everything that day was beautiful and perfect.

So how did you spend your Easter weekend?  I would love to hear from you.
