Scenes from Anna's Big Day: May 6, 2007
Anna made her first communion this Sunday, 31 years almost to the day after I made mine. It was lovely--the weather, the ceremony, the nostalgia. A few scenes:
The cake
The girl and the gown
The memorabilia (I'd asked my mom and grandma to bring old family photos of first communions--we had four generations' worth of pictures, cards, and ceremony programs!)
The ceremony
The friends
The presents!
The party time with the cousins

absolutely lovely photos!
Congrats to your daughter!!! What a lovely cake!!!
Beautiful photos, beautiful girl!
She's gorgeous. Is the trend now to wear long dresses? Or was it a coincidence. If I can find my communion photo, I'll put it up on my site.
Happy, happy day. What neat family traditions!!!
Thanks everybody for the kind words.
And yes, Joanna, the trend is to wear long dresses. It's a little disconcerting, since they look like wedding dresses. At least nobody in Anna's class had spaghetti-strap gowns, which I've seen at other first communions in recent years.
Also, I'd thought about having Anna wear my first communion dress, but it was TINY on her--like something she would've worn when she was four years old! Amazing!
Lovely pictures. I'm impressed that you still have your first communion veil, too!
The long dresses kind of suggest that they are going to be professing holy orders as brides of Christ. But the ankle socks keep it real!
Congratulations to Anna! She is beautiful.
