Will's First Communion

Will's first communion was Saturday afternoon. He has been working hard towards this milestone all year.

We had lots of time before Mass to wait so I took pictures and we played rounds and rounds of "Rock Paper Scissors" and sticks.

The first communion Mass was lovely and Will did a great job. Here he's singing a song with his group at the very end. 

All done! So big and so proud!

Will carried the missalette that Pop carried during his first communion. It's part of the family tradition; Gene and Mike carried it and Henry will carry it next.

We had a small reception at our house afterwards. 

Nana and Pop, Mike and Jess and their kids, and Katy and Jaime joined us for cheese, crackers and a lemon dessert. The cheese board had cheeses from Houston Dairymaids and Gene's homemade baguette and olive oil crackers.

First communion was lovely and we so enjoyed celebrating we good friends and family.
