Jessie's First Holy Communion

Dear Diary,
Jessie's First Holy Communion was a very special day for her to receive Our Lord and us all to be a part of.  The First Holy Communion is a Catholic ceremony, which marks a child's first reception of the Sacrament of the Eucharist.  She has prepared for this day for the last 2 years through her CCD classes at St. Lawrence.  She wore a beautiful white satin dress worn previously by Gigi and Josette and was surrounded by our family and friends during Mass.  We then had a late lunch celebration at The Red Onion.  So much fun and so much joy filled the day.  It was a blessing for me to see my youngest daughter receive the Eucharist and I am so grateful to everyone for coming out to join in this special day.

Easter Recap

Dear Diary,
The kids woke up to baskets filled with treats!  The girls sang beautifully in the church choir.  It was a beautiful Easter mass filled with family and friends.  We said good bye to Andy, Allyson, Sasha and Devlyn as they were heading back to South Carolina on a red eye.  It was the end of a wonderful visit with them!  We then drove out to Joe and Sylvie's for an egg hunt and Easter dinner.  Another beautiful Easter Sunday in the books... filled with family and friends.
