4.7.13 First Holy Communion

Gone are the days when the entire group of 2nd graders celebrate first communion together.  They now allow kids to attend any ordinary mass, and you sign up for which of the 8 masses you will be at.  It is nice that they are able to reserve pews for the families that way.  It is less crowded.  6 kids can sign up for the mass, and this one had three girls and three boys.  Here is Joe, with 2 good friends, Charlie and Cole.

A fun side note...the shirt, pants, and tie Joe is wearing were worn by 

Zach 15 years ago, and Matt 17 years ago.  Brothers!

Here is Joe with Father Larry....

Joey with Mom and Dad:

Joey with Grandma Estell

and with our good friend, Joanna....

Joey helped decorate the cake.

Friends and Family helped us celebrate at home...Corbin, Caleb, 

Caleigh, Indyra, Katie, Jordan, Grandma Estell, Joanna, and Grandma Eleanor.

We are happy to celebrate this special day.
