Karen's first holy communion

As #3 approaches his first holy communion, I reminisce about mine.  Here are some photos of me on my special day in April of 1981.

 In front of mom and dad's dresser.

 In the living room.

 In front of the church.

 With Father ?? my ceremony was performed during the mass that day in the gymnasium as the church was under renovations at that time.

 With Uncle Ron and Aunt Chris

 Awww...aren't I cute?

What a sweet picture with my dad!

My mom had made my dress and my veil.  The dress has yellowed after all of these years and the veil isn't as white as it used to be.  Both of my nieces, Emily and Samantha wore my veil for their first holy communions.
