First Communion weekend!

This weekend was Henry's first communion. He was so excited for it! We had family in town to celebrate with us and it was a great weekend.
They had pictures and practice on Saturday - these are all of his schoolmates who also received First Communion at our parish.
Who is this girl? Oh, that's right, that's ME on my First Communion day! Wow, that's a lotta lace.
 All dressed up in his suit - he gave us very little grief about wearing it, which was shocking considering he would live in sweatpants and a t-shirt if we let him.
 And the obligatory goofy poses.

 With Georgie in front of the church.


 All the kids who received First Communion at our parish had their pictures on this banner.
Mommy slaved over Henry made this banner in preparation for the big day - all the kids made one and they were hung on the pews.
 Henry and his buddies from class- they all received their First Communion at the 9:30 ceremony, which was nice.
 The 2BB boys with their teacher!
Presents and cake (and a more comfortable outfit) at our house afterwards!

It was a wonderful celebration! Henry was so cute! You forgot to mention that while waiting for Mass to begin, Georgie whispered in my ear, "I think I'm in a nightmare".. :-)

Great photos! Ainsley was lucky enough to see all the kids make their first communion. AT 930 and again at 11am. That's what happens when you are naughty at the first mass. You come back for the 2nd one! Only thing that would have made it longer was a few baptisms :)
