First Communion (106/366)

Anne Streiber: You're dressed like for your first Communion.

Communion, Whitley Streiber, writer, Philippe Mora-dir., Allied Vision, 1989.

TIME:  10:30 Mass
PLACE:  Church
SUBJECT:  StellaDella’s 1st Communion

She had the veil…


…and the shoes….


…and the dress.  And she made her 1st Communion this morning.  Surprisingly, the host didn’t burn her throat when she swallowed it, nor were there any sizzles when she was sprinkled with the holy water. *wink*


Her brother and sister (and Grandpa, not pictured) were on hand to witness the momentous occasion. 2 out of 3 were happy to be there.


Later in the evening, at her party at home, she insisted that a candle be placed on her Communion cake so she could blow it out.  I obliged.  Of course, I couldn’t let that go by without a rousing rendition of “Happy 1st Communion to You!”  (in the style of “Happy Birthday”)  Congratulations StellaDella!
