Communing

Yesterday was Aidan's First Communion.  We had most of the family come down for the big occasion, and it turned out to be a great afternoon / evening.

All four kids got dressed up for the occasion:

My Aunt and Uncle made the 4 hour drive just for the ceremony:

But before we left for Church everyone needed to chow down: (I took Quinn's shirt off because I didn't think that his clothes would survive the meal.  Shockingly, he had to change his pants afterwards due to lasagna all over his pants!)

The big moment.  Aidan was very serious during the whole mass.  After he had the host he said: "Mom, it really doesn't taste like a cookie"

All in all a momentous occasion that everyone enjoyed!
