Maggie's First Communion was on April 24, and it was a very special day! She was nervous about it all week, but also very excited. We dressed her up in all her finery (thank you, Grammer!), including her matching face mask! She was decked out in gold earrings from Grandma, a pearl bracelet from Grammer and an engraved necklace from us... fancy!

Each kid sat with their own family, and it was nice to be with Maggie to help keep her calm. Ben was an angel throughout mass (mostly thanks to the grandparents entertaining him)! Our priest came to our section of the church first, so Maggie was the very first kid to receive, and she handled it with grace! We practiced a few times at home to figure out how to remove her mask and not drop it!

The other moms call this the "college roommate" photo...
we'll see, so far Maggie wants to live at home forever |
Afterward we had everyone over for an early dinner and cake! It was awesome to have the family all together!

My goddaughter Emily also made her first communion the next weekend, so Maggie and I got to join in the special day (Maggie was psyched to make her "second communion").
