Brandon's First Communion

Today was a special day for Brandon. After months of preparation and studying at Religious Ed classes, he made his First Communion today. Grammy, Aunt Lindsay, Uncle Corey and James all came down from Maryland to celebrate with us. Of course, Grammy and I cried like we always do. Ryan was so excited to wear a suit and be handsome like his brother.

When do we get to eat cake already???

Really, I get presents? How cool is that!

Uncle Corey is tickling Ryan in the background and he is loving it!

I am really not bored, just making a silly face. Uncle Corey is like, seriously, more pictures???

Aunt Jamie getting her snuggle time with James. He only cried for a few seconds then we slipped away to play away from Mommy. That is key! I just love this little guy!

So how picture perfect is that??!!! James sleepy and cuddly with mommy.

We had a cookout with the family that capped off a perfect day. Thank you guys for sharing this day with us and helping me to make it special for Brandon. We love you all very much!
