Reilly Jane was dedicated on November 2, 2008. It was a very special day for us. Of course, I have been thinking and planning for this since before she was born. I am not sure why I have always loved a baptism or dedication...it is such a sweet and joyful celebration. I planned for a luncheon for about 40 people following the ceremony. The day started off with a "bang" when the caterer decided not to show at all! I went into a panic, but did find another caterer at the last minute to do the fried chicken (it was a southern meal...fried chicken, mac & cheese, green beans, & biscuits). I owe my life to Bojangles!! It all turned out well and I think everyone had a great time. Reilly Jane skipped her afternoon nap because she did not want to leave the party! My only regret was not having my parents there. I missed them terribly, but I am so thankful that I have a wonderful family to share this memorable time with my daughter.
