This past weekend was a milestone for our family.
Ciaran received his first communion.
It was a great ceremony, and I was surprised mass didn’t run overly long.
Additionally, August and Dela were altar servers at the mass, and Dela was altar server #1, which is sort of a big deal considering she is only 10 years old. She might be the youngest #1 altar server ever at the parish.
Afterwards we went to wherever he wanted too go for dinner. We have a Mexican restaurant we go to which is ridiculously family friendly (which is why it is our favorite) that is where each of the kids always pick whenever they have a choice.
After dinner we went home to have cake. That interloper next to Ciaran is our good friend Marianne, who also happens to be his godmother. She was last seen a few months ago.
Of course there were presents.
Marianne arrived late Thursday night, and left late Sunday morning. It was a short but sweet visit, and rather busy – and not just with Ciaran’s first communion.
