B's First Communion....

B made her First Communion on Sunday.  She was excited, but did NOT want to wear a dress.  We compromised on the shoes.  She did NOT want to wear "dressy" shoes so we found a pair of tennis shoes with silver sequins.  She also wore lime green shorts under her dress.  Whatever works!  It took a little coaxing, but she did let me curl her hair.

 My favorite picture from the day!  Frame worthy;)

 Here is a close-up of the shoes.  She did agree to wear the ruffled socks...after some coaxing.  You can see here that the ruffles are still showing...

 After mass was over and they were taking the group photo, I realized she had rolled the ruffles under so no one could see them!

She didn't smile in this photo, but I decided to see how it would look in black and white.  Love!

Sisters...

 She was given the task of carrying up the hosts for communion.  She was a little nervous...

 Ready for communion...

 Receiving her Scapular (a scapular is a religious pendant of cloth worn under the clothing, which are usually adorned with the picture of a saint as a part of Roman Catholic devotion.)

It was a great day and B is looking forward to having her second Communion tomorrow!  We are so thankful for all the family and friends who spent the day with us celebrating B!
