Breaking blogging silence to bring you…. a photo dump…
Yesterday Katherine made her first communion! Honestly, up until day of it didn’t hit me exactly how HUGE of a deal this is. 
She had a lot of fun picking out her dress and veil. And she seemed to enjoy going to the class, most of the time. I had pretty much just been caught up in the details of getting things done for the past few weeks…
But…. Somewhere between wrangling little ones and finding seats in a super full Mass
{Seriously, guys, I didn’t know there were about 45 kids making their first communion!!!..}
and grabbing a few pictures of Kat and a special friend…
I managed to settle into the beauty and the solemnity of the moment.
Seeing Katherine receive Jesus for the first time, was…. I don’t even know how to describe it. And, if it’s possible, I felt even more emotional today when she received right in front of me. I think it had to do with her being not only the first of our kids to receive, but also the first in our extended family as well (as neither Jared or I grew up Catholic).
It was just beautiful. A beautiful moment.
Congratulations!!! What a blessed, special, beautiful day. ❤
