My daughters First Communion. The dress is bought, the rosary has been made, our family banner is complete, invitations for the party afterwards have been sent, and we have hair appointments Saturday morning.
Of course I still have a lot that needs to be done!

I am really going to be ready for a vacation come Sunday morning!!
That will be such a pretty party for Libby! You must be so excited for your trip!
ReplyDeleteIt will be a wonderful and beautiful day.
ReplyDeleteI am dying to know where you are going. Is there anyway you can post via your phone from the airport?
I told my mister all about your fantastic surprise. You see, my mister has never surprised me with anything that fantastic. Well, I guess he did walk through the door with a vacuum one time. Does that count (In his defense, I like to vacuum. Now we have central vac.). LOL...
Oh, how I'd love to have a surprise as wonderful as this someday.
I so excited and happy for you. You deserve it, my friend!
Her first communion dress is adorable. My Mom still has mine : )

Your selections are amazing. The outfit that you selected is beautiful.
Where did you get the lovely rosary for your daughter?
Peonies are one of my favorite flowers.
Enjoy!
