Ava's First Holy Communion

Ava made her first Holy Communion on Saturday, May 18, 2013. The Mass was very special because a Benedictine priest and his father a deacon presided over the Mass. The priest's niece was receiving her first Communion.

Afterwards we had a party with the neighbors. I fixed the house up for Ava. 

since Auntie Jen and Audrey couldn't make it. Brent had to step in and frost the cupcakes for me.
