Jay's First Holy Communion

Jay received his first Holy Communion on Sunday. For born-again Christians it is very much like asking Jesus into your heart. For Catholics, Jesus is received through the Eucharist.
Jay took this very seriously, as did all the children. They looked so sweet and innocent. Especially the girls in their white gowns and veils.



Our friend made individual cakes for Ed and Nick (Jay).
Luke couldn't take his eyes off of them.
He finally got a piece after Jay. You can see there are still tears on his cheek...oh, the drama!!!
Luke with his favorite person in the WHOLE world...Olivia.

I feel like I sound old when I say, "Bless His Little Heart!" (but that's how I feel!)
Sooooo sweet. Jay looks very serious indeed.

And that little rascall Luke - oh you know there'd be tears over that cake at our house too!

Congratulations Jay! Those pictures of him taking it so seriously are precious. And Luke, the tears over the cake - buddy, I know the drama too!!

Congratulation. I think he looks so handsome!!

The kids do take it seriously. I think it is exciting for them and being accepted and acknowledged as part of the church makes them feel grown up.
