What a wonderful day! This deserves a post of it's own! Addison worked very hard this year to prepare for her 1st Communion. Mark did a lot of the teaching at home with Addison and her BFF Jenna. They also had to take additional classes to prepare for the big day. Addison did awesome and we are so proud of her!
She wore Lauren's dress for her 1st Communion and looked beautiful. She picked out the bobby pins to style her hair as well.
Lauren looked gorgeous as well in her dress!
Of course, I had to take all kinds of pictures! I love this one!
Mark, Addison and Uncle Pat, her God Father. We were so happy Uncle Pat, 2 cousins, and Grandma Harding were able to make it down to celebrate Addison's big day.
Isn't she just beautiful?
Miss Diana was Addison's teacher for Religion Class every Wednesday evening. She also taught Lauren and we just adore her!
Jenna, Sage, and Addison. These 3 go to school together as well and we all live in the same neighborhood.
It's always fun to have a friend to go through this big day with.
Lauren was asked to be a greeter for the service. Since she was a little nervous, Mark helped her out. They both did a great job. Way to go Lauren!
This was just half of the class! There was a 2nd service a different weekend, and a Spanish service as well. We love our church and they do an amazing job preparing the kids for their big day.
Grandma Harding made the trip down. We loved having her for the weekend.
Gramps and Nana also came to celebrate the big day.
After the service we came back to the house to celebrate Addison. She wanted to keep her cake simple and wanted it to be a cookie cake. It turned out great!
We enjoyed cake and opened presents after the ceremony. It was fun to hang out with family before they headed back to Omaha.
The girls had so much fun with their cousins this weekend. I love this picture I found on my phone for so many reasons. Their smiles, crazy Mark, and all the memories created this weekend.
Way to go Addison. We are so proud of you!
