Working It

Our weekend was pretty holy as we were invited to witness the First Holy Communion of three beautiful girls. The “firsts” in any child’s life is always worth remembering, especially something as sacred as this. I found myself holding hands with my own daughter, knowing that in a few years’ time, it will be her turn to receive the holy Eucharist.

The three pretty communicants: Danielle, Daphne, and Alyssa. Pictures were not allowed during the ceremony itself so we were only able to take pictures afterwards.

I remember my own first communion way back in…. I’d rather not say (haha!). We were not made to wear a white dress (like the girls above) and instead received communion wearing our white and blue school uniform but with a white veil atop our heads. I am also proud to say that I have a picture of that hanging in a frame at our family’s house back home. Our family is very Catholic so, it figures. :)

After the ceremony, our huge group trooped to Lime Juice Thai Bistro, where we had lunch reservations. Our party took up most of the space, although I didn’t think the establishment minded so much. :) By this time, my camera’s battery conked out (if I could only take a superior life insurance policy on my camera, I’d be plenty rich by now!) so I wasn’t able to take pictures of the food. But I have to say, though, that the food was yummy!

All in all, we had a really blessed weekend to have been able to witness this milestone in the little girls’ life, as well as to spend the day with our friends (and eating good food, to boot!).

Congratulations, girls! And welcome to God’s own feast. You’re no longer partying at the kids’ table anymore. :)
