I'm playing catch-up again. Here are some photos from Catherine's First Holy Communion on May 5. The second grade religion class had 35 children this year, the church's biggest class in quite a few years. Catherine had several friends from school in her class, including Gabe, who we decided is her longest friend in Santa Barbara, since we met him at Notre Dame preschool in 2009 and they both attend Peabody now.The weather was more like Seattle than Santa Barbara, very gray and overcast, but at least it didn't rain. Catherine was very excited to be receiving her First Communion and especially to wear her custom-made dress, direct from excellent English seamstresses, Granny and Auntie Juliet. Catalina and Molly even had matching dresses! Not that I am biased, but I think Catherine's dress was one of the prettiest ones!
