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!
