Big Girl receives her First Holy Communion this Saturday morning. This will be my first time seeing this ceremony and I really have no idea what it will be like. Saying that she is excited about it is an enormous understatement. It is all anyone talks about around here! She is very involved in all of our preparations and wants everything to be perfect.

I think I am really going to learn something this weekend. I don't know what it will be, but I am intrigued!
