Victoria made her First Communion this Saturday at St. Francis church. She looked so precious in her white dress. I'm sure it will be a long time before she wears another one like it ;)
My parents came in for the celebration.
We waited an hour plus before the mass began just to get seats. As we were waiting the classes took class pictures with our priests Father Zach and Father Larry. There was 8 classes for the ceremony with all of their families- something like 150 kids! Bella got tired of all the waiting and decided to take a cat nap on Grandmas lap.
Victoria's best friend Kate also did her First Communion at the same time. They are standing behind a drawing of what our new church will look like once its completed sometime this Fall.
We had a small celebration afterward with the Grandparents and God Parents Gary and Deb. We even toasted Victoria's faith with some apple cider and wine, then had a Cookies and Cream ice cream cake Victoria picked out.
Funny story- the night before her ceremony, I asked Victoria if she wanted to try the Blood of Christ. She asked what it tasted like, so I gave her a sip of sweat red wine. She immediately spit it out, and said, "No way!" I am so glad we did this beforehand, can you imagine her doing that in church.
