Natalie's First Communion

On May 17th, Natalie made her First Communion. She has been taking class every Sunday to prepare for this special day. Mommy, Daddy, Kendall, Nolan, Gammy, Gampy, Aunt Dani, Grandma, Kristen, and Shauna all came for Natalie's big day. It was really nice.

Isn't she beautiful??? Her and 4 other children, including her cousin Alaina all made their Communion.


We had a small photo shoot before church (of course!)





























All of the children had a chance to read at church. Natalie read very nicely! Father Jim also read a letter from each of the children. Natalie's said:
Dear Father Jim,

I want to make my First Communion so that I can be closer to God. I love this church because we accept everyone, and so does God. I also want to try the bread.
Love,
Natalie



The children also had a chance to bring up the gift and help prepare for Communion.

Here is Natalie receiving her First Communion from Father Jim (he's an amazing man). What a young lady she is becoming.

Congratulations Everyone!











After church, we all gather for cookies, punch, and couple more beauty shots. It was an exciting day!
