Audrey's 1st Communion!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate Audrey's First Communion on Saturday, May 1st.

It was so special that even the President came to town! We could hear Marine One flying overhead at one point during the ceremony.

Audrey was over-the-top excited about getting her First Communion. She looked stunningly gorgeous on her special day.

Fr. Jim gave an lovely homily while he quizzed all of the communicants on their knowledge of the Mass parts. Audrey correctly answered one of the questions! Whew.

And we all settled in for some heaping piles of Chinese Food at Asia City down the street. We were given a place of honor on the stage. How did they know?

The parties continued in Ohio later on Saturday and then on Sunday when my nephew Paul also celebrated HIS first communion. A combined party was held for both kiddos. It was a windy day but we managed to have fun in spite of the threatening rain. Curt was the grill master for the event. I failed to get a picture of that. I guess I was too busy cutting vegetables and blowing up balloons. Good times.
