Samantha Marie's Communion

OK OK OK I'm sorry I am late getting these up - I'm a little busy over here with my kids, dogs and pool chemicals (throwing that in cause there is like 3 days left - please you know for what). We celebrated Samantha's Communion his past Sunday. The day was perfect with a few minor glitches. First the rain was on an off but it wasn't too bad but not a day for straight hair. Don't get me started on the plant sale the church just had to have in the parking lot of the church where people needed to walk and park or the hallway they had lined with WET plants that Sam was supposed to walk down. The worse part of the day was that the magician didn't show. Sam had 2 requests for this day. She wanted to have her party where her cousin Frank had his and she wanted the magician that her cousin Ryan had. Well he never showed and for the most part the kids didn't mind and really it was just Sam that knew he was coming. I can't say the same for the adults because they definitely whined about the lack of entertainment. That could also be to that it wouldn't be a party of mine if I wasn't picked on for something. That's OK though my skin is pretty thick nowadays. Other than those mishaps the food was great the cake even better (thanks to Ralph for picking it up). All in all Samantha had a very nice day and she was the "Bell of the ball" - as her daddy would say.

There are a lot of pictures I will try to keep them in order the best I can:


FIRST -( This spot is reserved for the pictures of the blanket that Auntie Donna made for Samantha - she loved it and was so surprised by the flowers - problem is I am running off of 4 separate memory cards and need to find them - check back later to see these pics)


Here's the little princess - I don't remember which # this was of the dress choices on that previous post but this is the choice :)



Steve's twin - purple tie an all :)


Grandma (Steve's Mom) had bought Samantha Rosary beads from Italy and had them blessed years ago and this was her getting them



She asked for a digital camera from Steve and I - a blue camera in a blue case



Sophia being told she can't have a cookie



After seeing these I realized we need to pick a better spot to take pictures in the house.....

Can you please just look at the camera for a second.....THIS camera! Please note Sophia has on 1 shoe due to a blister and she would only wear the 1.

OK so no magician something needs to be done.... sure Duck Duck Goose in your dress sounds fantastic!
