Sophie's First Holy Communion

The cake.

The hair.

The dress...it was the same one that Johanna had worn.

Sophie had asked me as we were decorating the cake together if I was going to cry at her First Communion.  I told her that I wouldn't....although I really wasn't sure if I could guarantee that.

But I didn't.  I didn't cry.

It was a beautiful celebration and a beautiful day.

And we are blessed to have a beautiful, thoughtful, loving, generous girl.  May she always be close to Jesus.
