Millie had her First Communion today. She was very excited! Thank goodness for my mom who came and did her hair and nails and figured out how to get that veil on. Millie wore the same veil I wore for my First Communion and the only thing I remember is it was sliding down the back of my head the entire time. Because of that veil drama when I was in second grade, I refused to wear a veil when I got married. Mom did great though (this time around) and it stayed in Millie's hair just fine.
Millie carried a Rosary from my Grandma Owen and had Father Day bless it after the rehearsal.
They did a practice yesterday where they could taste the unblessed bread and wine and learn what they were supposed to do during mass.
Millie practiced what she had to say. She did great and was so brave! She has been so shy the past few years (who can blame her, we kept moving and she had to keep being the new kid) but I think she is regaining that confidence she had when we lived in Knoxville.

Thank you to everyone that came and shared this very special day with her. I am sure it will be a day she will always remember and sharing it with so many special people made it even better.
