Our Special Day: 1st Communion

 
On Sunday, April 21st, 2013, Colin and Aidan received their 1st Communion.  What a wonderful and special day we had here!   Mass began at 9am at our church, Mary Queen of Peace.   The children were led into the church by a knight from the Knights of Columbus.  Beautiful music and songs filled the air.   We took a lot of pictures in hope to give all of you a nice visual of the boys' special day. 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
We will put a professional photo of the boys in these frames.

After our celebration at church, the boys picked a restaurant for lunch.  Later in the afternoon, we met up with some friends of ours who also have a 1st Communicant.  We went to the park/zoo and enjoyed our day together.  In the evening, we had more cake and a visit with our neighbors.  We missed all of you, but feel truly blessed to have an amazing church community, friends and neighbors to celebrate with.   GOD BLESS, Colin & Aidan!
