Getting Ready

Mariana had her retreat for First Communicants yesterday and chose me to go with her. We had a nice morning, even squeezing in a little date beforehand since everyone else had to rush off to soccer. Here she is with the banner she made for the pew. Only two more weeks!

* I would just like to point out that we opted for middle ground on the banner. It was funny to observe the room full of parents and children working on this craft. There were the super-controlled parents making the professional looking banner with a little help from the child. There were the opposite, mostly dads ;), standing back and letting the child go at it...with some very interesting results. We opted for somewhere in the middle. We worked together, with mostly Mariana's ideas and creativity. I think it turned out great. :)
