First Communion Joy















Few days are more special, exciting, and blessed than the days we celebrate a sacrament. My Flynn has been preparing for this most special day for almost two years. She has looked forward to receiving her First Holy Communion with such anticipation and joy! It was an honor for me to be able to prepare her, and even more of an honor to stand beside her with Steve as she received Jesus for the first time. We celebrated Flynn with close family and friends, a beautiful Mass, delicious lunch, Dairy Queen cake, and lots of love. 

Have a wonderful week, my friends!

  1. Oh, Billie Jo, thank you so much, my sweet friend, for sharing this precious time in Flynn's life with us. Her dress and jacket are just gorgeous. My favorite picture out of all of these is the one of you and her. The loving admiration she has for her mama just radiates from her as she is looking at you. xo

  21. First Holy Communion is supposed to be a special day in a catholic girls life! My big day was only partly special! I finially made my FHC at 14,due to various reasons it was put off untill then.I was in the class with 7 year olds and had to follow the dress code like the little girls did.I had to wear the poofy,short sleeve,knee length communion dress and veil with lace anklets and white patent leather shoes.The required underwear was a white tee shirt and toddler size plastic pants[aka-rubberpants] under the dress!Mom found toddler extra large size rubberpants and they fit me tight and were uncomfortable! I got a rash from them by the end of the day! So having to wear them made my special day only partly special!
