Holy Communion Batman!

Karli completed her first communion last weekend. I worked for a couple months on making her dress. It turned out very cute. She loved it!
There were about 15 other kids at the same Mass. They processed into church.

They got to carry up the gifts (bread & wine & offering basket).

Fr. Paul usually kneels down after the offertory basket has been passed so the kids can come up to him and put their envelope in the basket in a fun way. He recently had knee surgery so it's hard for him to kneel. This was the second time he had called Megan over to him in the middle of Mass. She gets to sit in the huge chair next to Father while the other stuff is going on and then she gets to kneel down with the basket for all of the little kids to come forward. It was so cute! She enjoyed it.

My cousin's daughter was with us in church - also a cutie and so well behaved. Our three and my brother's three just love Veronica to pieces and keep her very entertained.

After communion, the whole group of first-timers stood on the steps of the altar and sang a song with hand actions - You prepare a table before us. How good of you, Lord. The kids did a nice job but it was hard to hear them singing.

After church we took some family pictures and of course Opa had to be silly.

We ate spaghetti for supper and had cheesecake from Mr. Delicious - ooh it WAS delicious!
