Jacob's First Holy Communion
















Jacob's First Holy Communion was on Sunday, May 3rd at 1:00 at St. Malachy Church. He was the first boy in line (Nice to have a B to start your last name huh?) He looked so handsome in his suit as you can see. I don't know where my little baby boy went but he looks so grown up now. Ever since we bought the suit, he didn't want to put it on. Anytime you would ask him if he was excited about his First Communion he would say no. When asked why he would say "the suit". We thought we were going to have to hold him down to put it on, but the day of, he was pretty excited and put it on without a problem and posed for pictures without a fight. All the kids were in the front of the church and the families were seated in the rest of the church. When we made it down to receive our communion, he looked at me and said "Mommy, I tasted the wine!" He was so happy. We came home to start the party. We took many more pictures and afterwards I told Jacob I had clothes laid out for him to change into and he said "No, I don't want to change, I like the suit!" Who would have guessed? Certainly not me! Well, he stayed in his suit until ... he accidentally sat in his brother's cake! Ryan came down and said calmly as you please, "Mommy, can I have another piece of cake because Jacob sat in mine." We all laughed and then he changed into other clothes. It was a nice and blessed day. God Bless Jacob.
