Jackson's First Communion

 

On May 9th, Jackson received his First Holy Communion.  
It was my goal to not have the baby before this day - and hooray!   I made it! 

Jackson's godmother, Jessica, came in town with her two kids Sam and Stella.
It was so wonderful to have them here.
We tried to get a picture of all the kids.
Charlie was throwing a fit.
Wouldn't get in the picture.
I think my exact words to him were, "I don't have time to be nice about it ... get in the picture"
It didn't work. 
ha.
 
 
 
 

 Jackson before leaving for mass.
So handsome and grown up in his suit!!!
 
Made it to the church, and snagged a couple of pictures in the garden before Mass.
 
 


Oh how I love these two!
 
  Here I am.  Very pregnant.

Stella and Maggie before Mass


Charlie and Uncle Daniel.
Love this picture!
 

Cooper was so excited to wear a bowtie!

Jessica and Sam


Jackson and Fr. Cliff.
I was so emotional about the whole thing.
He told me yesterday after Mass, "mom, I received my fourth communion today!"
 

The rest of the crew headed home to get lunch set up.


We had a simple lunch of hamburgers, potato salad, cookies..
Oh!  Cole Slaw.  Jackson's request.  It's his favorite food.
 



With his Godparents

 JAckson and Mawmaw.   I guess Pawpaw was cooking the burgers.
 
 
 Jackson's teacher came too - he was so excited!
And his teacher from first grade also came - she lives in our neighborhood.
He is still talking about it!
And Cooper is already asking if his teachers can come for his First Communion : )
 
He opened some gifts ..


 





The Moxleys and the Louis' came too.
So great to celebrate with them.
 
 
 
I ended up having Eleanor about 48 hours later : )
