He was excited but nervous. He had a reading part in Mass, as he had to read one of the Prayers of the Faithful Petitions. He did a great job!
The church was decorated with banners that the kids had decorated in advance of receiving the sacrament.
Mass was also extra special as Rebecca was one of the altar-servers as well. It was also special because Bill was able to get to church just in time to see him make his First Communion. He had been at work and was able to leave just in time after we had thought he would miss the whole thing.
After his First Communion, Jacob was all smiles and we posed for some pictures outside.
He was smiles with his Aunt Mary, who almost missed his First Communion, due to encountering a car accident as she was driving down from Cleveland, but got there just before Bill did.
Jacob and my parents...
Jacob and I...
Jacob and our family friends, the Auchards…
Jacob and his siblings...
Then we headed home for a simple party complete with food and cake!
It was such a special day for Jacob and is another step in his Catholic faith!
Looks like everything turned out just right!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like it was a very nice day. Great shots of the kids. I can't also help but notice, though, that your floors are absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. Congratulations.
ReplyDeleteHe looks so cute in those pictures. I remember those banners from my kids. Very nice pictures and the food looks good. Cheryl
ReplyDeleteWhat a great day - Jacob looks so handsome all dressed up - your kids are growing up!
ReplyDeleteI can actually attest to the fact that the food at wedding venues NYC was delicious because, unlike other hosts who I hear never get to eat a bite, there was a staff member by my side every so often kindly reminding me to eat! We received the best possible service here.
