EJ's First Communion

EJ received her First Communion today. There was a large class of kids this year, so they split them into two groups and did two services so that everyone and their families would fit into the church!

Each year, the kids make a banner. And every year for the First Communion service, they hang all the banners from the previous years around the church. The kids on the first banner are graduating from college this year! Here's EJ with this year's banner:

And here she is with Pastor Jon:

And here's the family shot:

After the service, we went to the house of EJ's friend C, who also received his First Communion today. EJ and C have been buddies for nearly 10 years now - EJ was born three days before C!

Here's C attacking the cake!


C's dog, Teak, gave Sophie lots of lovin' while we were there!

We didn't get home until after 10, and both girls crashed in the car. EJ had a long day, as she had a few hours of dance photos into early afternoon.
