Bobcat's first holy communion on Friday was a wonderful experience! He did a great job, and everything went very well.
We counted 58 friends and relatives in attendance at mass, and 50 of them came back to the house for cake and punch. It was very cozy. Bobcat felt very special that so many people wanted to celebrate with him. Also, I think our relatives were impressed by how many of our friends were there. Hopefully they are happy to see that we have a lot of support as parents, and that the boys have lots of little friends to socialize with. I know I am thankful for the community that has embraced our family.
A special thank you to Matilda who purchased a cake for us. Not only was it delicious, but having that professionally made and decorated gave MommLlama one less BIG job to do in preparation for the event, and it relieved the anxiety she felt over possibly making one herself. Very thoughtful of you, just a shame you didn't get to eat any!
We've posted the photos online in two albums. One set contains photos the from the party. The others are some portraits that we took at church yesterday afternoon. It was a beautiful day outside so we decided to dress him up and play with the camera. I thought they turned out really well. It's easy to take good pictures of this kid - he's a natural at posing and smiling. My Photoshop software really came in handy by allowing me to remove the big scratch from his forehead. If only I could have it add the missing teeth! The other boys were very patient and well-behaved, so we went to dinner and to a movie (the new Veggie Tales - it was hilarious!) as a reward.

Doesn't he look great in his suit and tie? My sister gave him that beautiful rosary. You'll see the color of it in some of the other photos in the album, it's his birthstone.
Snazzy shoes, eh?

He's so handsome. What a blessing to have so many friends and family there to celebrate his special day.
He looks so handsome! I didn' tknow he was already big enough for first communion! he is so sweet!
Those are some great pictures of that beaming boy! Congratulations to him and to you, Mom and Dad!
Congratulations! Seriously, I thought about hiring a professional for our dd's a big day, but I think I'll just put that money into round trip tickets for your whole family to come down so Daddio can take the pictures! :)
