The Kid received her First Holy Communion this weekend. It was really wonderful. Friends and family traveled from out of state to see the little miss partake in the Catholic tradition.
The Kid received an array of gifts, both in person and by mail, from those who love her. We will [...]
My First Communion, circa 1987. I have no idea who the girl is next to me. I still have my dress and veil. This weekend The Kid will receive her First Holy Communion in the Catholic Church. She attends public school, and for the last two years has [...]
