Jalissa's First Wholy Communion




One of my oldest friends, Wendy, has a daughter named Jalissa. Her daughter's first wholy communion was today. Boy has Wendy been waiting for this day. That dress, what a drama!!! The gloves, tiara, the hair, shoes, OMGoodness... but I really enjoyed the ceremony. It wasn't boring like my nephew's. This one was performed to music. The explanation of communion was done by song, by the priest, some women parrishoners and the children. It was very interesting, and kept you attentive to what was going on at all times. You didn't realize you were there for almost two hours. I was very impressed. Most of Jalissa's family and close friend's were at the church to support her.

The kids looked so cute. All of the couples. Little ones and big ones. I wasn't able to take many photos in the church because there were just too many people in the way. Jalissa, is 14 going on 40. But believe it or not, she wasn't the tallest. I was surprised. Afterwards we took photos in front of the church then went out to eat close by. I think it was very tasteful to do it that way. No big to-do. I think "parties" are better saved for other occasions. She's a ham in front of the camera, can you tell?
