Canton Trip, a Wedding, and a First Communion

Saturday 5/2/09- Mom, Dad, Jamie (my cousin) and I went to Canton! Mom, Dad and I left Waco at 5:30 am and arrived in Canton at 8:15am. We met Jamie there and immediately started shopping. Dad went off on his own for most of the day to look at "guy" stuff. He searched for places that sold guns all day, but I don't think he ever found that part! Mom, Jamie and I had a full day of shopping! We left Canton at 7:15pm, which means we were shopping for 11 hours! Our legs and feet were SO sore, but it was all worth it!

Mike went to Kirk and CarrieAnne's wedding in San Marcos. He said it was very nice, and he had a lot of fun! I'm sad I missed it but had Canton and the communion going on that same weekend. He wasn't able to take pics b/c I had the camera with me.

Sunday 5/3/09- My 7 yr old cousin Abby had her First Holy Communion today at our church in Waco. She was so proud of herself and looked so pretty in her dress and veil. She also got to do the reading at the Mass. She did awesome! We couldn't take pictures of the communion b/c it was during Mass, but took some afterwards.

This is Abby with her 2nd grade teacher, Mrs. York. She was also my 2nd grade teacher many years ago at the same school, St. Louis Catholic School.

After the Mass, we went to La Fiesta to celebrate and chow down. We had the back room, and Abby's godmother had a cake waiting for her. As you can tell, she is not shy and is quite the ham in front of the camera!
