First Communion

Stephanie's First Communion was today. Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Joyce all got to be here. Hayden was one of the servers (Stephanie H's brother Joseph was the other one.) Meredith got to pass out the bulletins. Phil was pretty much annoyed that he had to sit thru Mass TWICE in one day but it was a really nice service.

Every kid in the Communion class got to do a little reading during the service and Stephanie was first. She was very excited to get to stand up in the front of the church to read to everyone.

Of course, it was pouring rain when left to go to the church so I covered Stephanie in my longest jacket and dug out all the umbrellas so we wouldn't look like drowned rats when we got there!

I bought her dress at Sears and Paula bought her veil at Gloria Deo in Omaha. She felt like a little princess.

Since the Mass was at 7pm, we didn't have a party at our house or anything but everyone went down to the church basement afterwards for cupcakes.
