Gabe's First Communion

Gabe made his much anticipated First Communion on May 15th. He had been waiting for months, and was so excited when the day finally arrived. He was more than ready, and handled everything so well. Sometimes changes in the mass will upset him, but he really rose to the occasion and did a fabulous job.

Grammie made the trip from Michigan, which was an added bonus. Gramps and the rest of the family were missed, but it meant more hugs and love for Grammie, who didn't seem to mind the undivided attention.

The banner Grammie made.

The squishy face even makes an appearance at church. Can this kid rock a bow tie or what?

Contemplative.

The whole group. I love how he's easy to spot with the curly hair and bow tie.

A rare family pic....everyone looks relatively normal.
