the past 2 weeks have been a whirlwind for the withers family. We are exhausted, but we have enjoyed every minute of it!
First, Sophia celebrated her 8th birthday with a Peppa Pig pool party with friends. Next, we celebrated Sophia's REAL birthday with a birthday surprise. Lastly, we celebrated Sophia's first communion at our church. We could not have asked for a more perfect week!
Here are the pictures to prove it!

FIRST RECONCILIATION
when sophia was baptized, there was also a couple baptizing their daughter at that same mass. We met these lovely people later at a Game Night, and they proceeded to tell us that we already knew each other. From that day on, the girls have been together in preschool, daycare, and church. I knew that this was a special bond, so I had to take a picture at their next 2 sacraments together.
