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.

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