This morning we went to a special service at Church for Gracie to receive her First Reconciliation. We have been preparing the last couple of months for this big day. And we completed many worksheets & activities as a family on making mistakes & bad judgements & asking for forgiveness. This morning on our way to Church, Gracie said she knew exactly what she was going to tell the priest. I can't say I was as calm as she was back when I made my First Reconciliation. To celebrate Gracie & her First Reconciliation we took the girls out for lunch at Las Fuentes. And when Gracie told Benjamin (our favorite waiter) why we were there to celebrate he said he had just the perfect drink. He came back with Kiddie Cocktails. Usually when he brings them a Kiddie Cocktail they are serviced in kid glasses. But not today as he came back with their Kiddie Cocktails in BIG glasses for her "Big Day" . During lunch, Josie kept aksing Gracie to tell us what she told the priest. Gracie kept telling her "No" & that she didn't want to share as it was suppose to be private. However, she finally told her that when she is in 3rd Grade & getting ready for her First Reconciliation she would tell her what she told him. What a grown up answer from our Gracie Girl. We are so proud of you Gracie as you have completed another important sacrament.
