  • Today was Bethany's first communion day.

    Don, Charles, Dmitry and I headed for Keller and the service, meeting up with Brianna there, as Bridgette is running a fever due to a blossoming ear infection and is in pain due to cutting not one but two molars, poor baby, so Jessica had to stay home with her.

    If her Gran may say so, Bethany looked quite lovely.   e-ghost

    That was actually taken afterwards, along with this one of Matt's family (lacking a few members):

    Another little girl made her first communion as well; here the two girls are with the priest:

    Here's a photo of Dmitry and Brianna that I'm including just because I like it and it's my blog:

    As soon as the photo ops were finished Don, Dmitry and I drove to Niki's Italian Bistro to collect the lasagna, salad and rolls, then took them to Kirstin's house.  That was some seriously tasty lasagna, BTW.  ;^)

    After everyone ate it was time for Bethany to open her gifts; checks are always a hit:

    Trouble is, when it comes to money even little ones quickly learn the lesson of easy come....easy go:

    What do you wanna bet it's destined for some savings account somewhere?

    Our gift was a new bible; this sets a trend for such occasions as I'd given Bethany the one I received at four months old when she was baptized.

    The gift opening was followed by noshing on this gorgeous cake:

    It was a hummingbird cake, which is now close to qualifying as my favorite cake.  Yum, yum, yum! 

    Anyway, it was a wonderful occasion and party.  Wish y'all could have been there (Kirstin bought way too much lasagna!).

  • Lasagna AND hummingbird cake? Wish I'd been there, too!

    Lovely photos. Not kissing up or anything, but Bethany's dress is just too sweet - makes the other little girl's dress, which was, I'm sre, just fine, look somehow less perfect for the occasion! Not that Tiana cares a whole lot, but that's the type of dress I'd like Magaly to wear in J's & T's wedding, which is yet to be planned. Her mom comes in two wees - we'll get serious then, I hope!

    BTW, I didn't think anyone made hummingbird cakes anymore - it was a favorite of my Aunt Rose. I haven't had one in years.

  • She is growing up so fast.  She looks like a beautiful princess...God's Princess

  • That photo of Dmitry and Brianna needs to be framed and put in a place of honor. IMHO.
