After months of preparation, Claire had her first Communion this past Saturday, during a special mass for the occaision. She was one of approximately 85 communicants just for that mass alone, and the church was filled to the very brim ... no small feat for our church.
While many of the communicants sat with their families and relatives, Claire spent much of the service singing in the children's choir. She handled it with ease, even if she was perhaps the littlest one up there.
Once the mass was over, it was out to the courtyard for some photo ops with the Monsignor, and a few more with her friends from Bluebonnet Elementary. We had a beautiful day although it started out a bit chilly for here this time of year, but warmed up nicely into the seventies by the afternoon.
It was also really nice to have Aunt Kathy and Aunt Debbie down to share in the special day. We had a great time with them over the weekend.
We couldn't be happier or more proud of Claire. She seems to be growing up so fast (even though she never inherited that height gene)! It is amazing to look back and see how far the kids have come so quickly. Indeed, it was a day that none of us will forget and one that all of us will revisit fondly.

I had such a wonderful time w/ all of you. The weekend weather delightful, and our girl outstanding. Daniel was the best little boy in church and home.
Thanks so much for your hospitality.
