First Holy Communion. The second one, I mean. For me.

Kneelers on rehearsal day.

Practicing the procession.

He made it to the correct pew.  I guess he's ready.

Enjoying the bubble wrap that his present from Mark was wrapped in

Is it time to leave for church yet?

The cherry tree cooperated for the day.

 

Even the first-communicant is pressed into service, taking a picture of his godparents and their children:

 

The redhead is my godson.  The two boys were baptized on the same day:

Awful cute, aren't they?

These chairs will soon be full of first-communicants.

 

We love to watch girls in pretty dresses around here.

 

Party time.  Who needs a cake when you can have first dibs on an entire assortment of donuts from the GOOD grocery store?

 

I may have missed the shot of him receiving first Communion, but at least I got this one:

LOVE that you shared a bunch of photos! It was especially good to see the godparents, as they are so important in a child's life and Milo is one of my favorite kids.

Looks like it was a great day. How could it not have been?

PS. Did you cry? Or are you not the weep-at-first-sacraments type?

Congratulations to your son and your family. Thanks for sharing the pics. That sure is a lot of first communicants!

As an aside, my almost three year old is fascinated by the picture of your son eating the donut. I think he's envious... We may be looking at that picture a lot over the next couple of days!
