For my 217th daily photo I posted a photo of the communion bracelet Stephen's mom wore as a young girl when she received the Sacrament - Madeline will be wearing it. I asked my mom if Madeline could wear her vintage chapel mantilla veil that she wore when she was younger. She gave it to us when we were in Cali last month. Now Madeline will be wearing something from both of her grandmothers on this very special day. 

Now to find her a dress. :)
