Hannah's First Communion

Hannah received her First Communion this morning with her cousin Foster. I have to preclude this by telling a funny story regarding Hannah's preparation. Two weeks ago, Hannah had her interview with the priest. We had the questions she had studied throughout the year in her religion classes and looked them over the night before. So we are sitting across from Fr. Chris and he asks Hannah what sacrament she has been preparing for? She looks at me and starts crying and says, "You forgot to study that question with me." Fr. Chris tried every way possible to get her to come up with the answer and she just couldn't. He finally just gave up and told her it was her First Communion. Well, she passed anyway and today was the big day. I'll have to cherish this picture of her in a dress with her hair down because it was a miracle!

Hannah-so grown up!

Congrats to Hannah! She looked beautiful in her dress. The priest should have given some better clues to his question. You can't keep a kid hanging like that! Glad he passed her anyway. Can't get over that photo at the top with all those fish. What did you do with all of that?
