This is Olivia's first year of CCD and unfortunately my first real interaction in Church also. I don't know what to do or say but I am trying to stumble my way through it for her. Luckily her Grandmothers know and Auntie is a CCD teacher. When we dropped her off I brought her in but did not know where to go. Finally we located an adult who asked if she was an angel-Um, she is 6 and in 1st grade-Yes then she is an angel-next room.There we located her group and she was fitted with a white robe and golden halo and sash. I left her with the other angels so we could find a seat. I was a bit nervous about being there so early as Ava is typically a jumping bean but the place was filling up and I didn't want to be standing in the back. I could have cried as I caught this photo. She ended up being the first angel in line and i almost missed her she looked so little.
They all did a great job including this little trouble maker below. She bounced around from Gramma to Nana and complained when the bells got too loud but all in all she was terrific.I was incredibly proud of Olivia too as I know how nervous she was in the last few days even saying all day Thursday that she wasn't doing it. Having no confidence myself, I am trying to make her follow through and then talking about how good is feels to accomplish something and what a good job she is doing.
She did this all on her own. I think she was praying that Santa forget how she acted all year-I am not sure but it was definitely worth a picture!!

you need that picture of Ava framed...take it out every now and then just before you kill her to remind you that there's a little angel in there with horns.
