First Communion

Nathan made his First Communion this past Sunday.  Everything went really well, and we had a party at our house afterwards with the godparents & grandparents.  I should post some pictures, but I am lucky that I even remembered to take pictures!

I did disappoint me oldest niece though.  Her Mom asked if she thought that we would have a homemade cake or store bought.  My niece insisted that we would have homemade as "Lisa always makes her cakes!"  I did decide to just buy one for two reasons.  I didn't think that I would have time, and I wasn't sure how to decorate the cake.  Is a tractor shaped cake appropriate for a sacrament like this? 

Nathan had received a necklace with a cross on it from his godfather & family and has already misplaced it.  We went to my niece and nephew's t-ball game last night, and had taken the necklace off and had it hanging off his arm.  I told him that he has to quit taking it off, so I held it for the remainder of the game and then hung it on my gear shifter when we got back to the van.  He brought it into the house and now it has disappeared.  If I find it first, it may stay gone for a while just to teach him a lesson.
