Here are the pictures from Jack's First Communion. We really weren't supposed to take any during the Mass itself, but it was so crazy busy in there, that Paul sneaked in a few. After Mass we went to a passably-good Chinese place and then down to Build a Bear. Kate was already going to the bear place for a party, so we carted the boys along. The weather was dreadful, and made Covent Garden seem like some kind of jail... everyone squished together trying to stay out of the pouring rain. But the kids had fun building the bears. Jack and Will both opted for Star Wars clothing, and of course Tom could not pass up the Iron Man suit for his bear.
With the kids all in CCD this year (except T) we were very good about attending Mass unless we were traveling, so the kids were all very well behaved. 10 am is never a Mass that could be considered quiet. That was clearly not the case with many little brothers and sisters at First Communion. It sounded as if it were the first time many of those children had every stepped foot in the church. Not that I can talk, we have definitely had off-years in terms of our attendance record :).
