Celebrating Annie's First Communion

You will notice that we allowed Annie to change from her heirloom dress & veil to her party dress & veil (due to comfort & ease). We welcomed Oma & Papa, Tom & Elaine & Mamaw, Shana & Harvest, Aunt Cassie & Zach & Sarah & Emma & Nancy. We opened gifts and had cake in the basement so that Mamaw could join in the fun. Among the beautiful gifts were a homemade Rosary from Leia, many relics of the True Cross from Mamma & Daddy, a first communion book and portrait of Christ from Great Grandma Betty & Grandpa Henel, a beautiful crucifix from Oma & Papa, a book about the "real" Easter Bunny & stuffed bunny "Allelujiah" from Shana, a build-a-bear bunny from Zach. Finally, we planted Annie's beautiful peach tree (From Elaine & Tom & Mamaw) to mark this special day.
