Today was brisk and windy outside but warm and beautiful inside our little church for K's First Holy Communion. She had been waiting for this day for such a long time and it finally happened. I couldn't be more proud or happy for my sweet little young lady (my how she's grown)!

p.s. - Something about K's FHC dress made her girly side come out along with a desire for endless tea parties.
p.p.s. - her dress and veil were gifts from grandma and they came from this shop. I can't say enough good things about the woman who runs it and what incredible work she does!

Beautiful! I cannot help but tear up a little when I see those little ones get their first Holy Communion. What a joy!

Aweee! :_) Congratulations K! My goodness, she's so beautiful! I remember how I felt on my first communion. So pure, blessed, and wearing the extra special white dress & veil. And also glad that my 1st confession was behind me. Although my friend from church was just telling me that the Catholic church is now separating 1st communion and 1st confession by 2 years or so (?) so that they are more mature & ready for confession (9) but do not miss out on communion (7). These rituals are so very meaningful! And a great photo op too. :) Congrats Mama! I'll have to wait for that girl grandchild in the far far future. Admittedly my boys aren't even baptized yet cause I can't figure out the Godparents, sigh. Thanks for sharing this very special day with us Nicole!

I haven't heard about the separation but our church here is very small and might do things a bit differently??
I so hear you on the Godparents issue. I don't really know anyone Catholic so I didn't have anyone to ask for my children but the woman who ran my RCIA class back in Oregon helped me find Godparents through some wonderful women at that church: http://frontierdreams.blogspot.com/2013/09/to-fai...
Now only if we were closer... <3

She looks beautiful and I love those curls. I always liked having curls for special occasions when I was growing up. :)
