Emily received her first holy communion on June 26, 2011 at the 11am mass. On the way to church, I asked her if she was nervous. She said, "No Mommy. Of course not. I have been waiting for this day my whole life! "
You can see her receiving from Father George here. I didn't take pictures during the mass, but another sweet family took pictures of all the kids and shared them with us. I am very thankful to have this picture.
Emily shared her day with 4 other first communicants and Father George called them up to the alter to honor them. It was very beautiful.
Abram, our God Child came to celebrate with us and we can't wait to see him receive next year.
And look how big Baby Jude has grown! He is 4 months now and so happy. He was like the cutest table centerpiece ever in his bumbo chair and nonstop smiley face.
Here is Emily with her Great Grandmother. We were so honored she could share this blessed day with us.
Lots of family came! My cousin Ben and his wife Andrea, Great Grandma, Aunt Elaine and Aunt Debbie are pictured here. And we got many more pictures at the reception.
Family picture!
And Emily's Godparents, Lowell and Cynthia, from Austin. What a beautiful day.
Congrats Sweet Emily! What a special day indeed!!
