First Holy Communion for Lydia Rose

First Holy Communion

April 29, 2023

Lydia celebrated her First Holy Communion.  She was so excited and nervous.  She looked lovely in her dress and veil and felt so special.  I know she was anxious and she was amazing, brave and courageous walking up the aisle to received the Body of Christ for the first time.  We're so proud of her.

The First Holy Communion banner Lydia and I made together.

We were joined by Lydia's Godparents, Uncle Brian and Aunt Jen.  

Grandma & Papa and Nana & Papa also joined, of course.  Lydia's cousins were able to attend as well.  So blessed we could all be together on such a special day for Lydia. 

Excited to celebrate Jillian next weekend!

 

Grandma gifted Lydia an American Girl Doll outfit to match hers.  Leah received the same on her First Communion and was the inspiration.  I put it out just as we were walking out the door to go to church so she could be surprised when we returned.  

This wooden cross has been around awhile.  Mom puts it out every Lent with a purple cloth on it as decoration.  Dad and I made it when I was in 6th Grade for a school project.  

The music box was gifted to me for my First Communion in 1992 or was it 1991? 

 You be the judge based on style, here is a throwback.

And no celebration is complete without cookies from Tracy at One Extra Cookie.  

She does incredible work and they taste delicious too!
