Time for celebrating!

By Cindy | May 9, 2009 |
Today was beautiful in many ways….we celebrated our son’s First Communion.  Our big guy has been preparing for this special day for quite some time and he woke up a little nervous but mainly very excited.  There was a large group of First Communicants and it was so sweet to see all of the girls dressed in white with their veils, and the boys wearing their suit and ties.

You can see in this family photo that Gabriel is proudly carrying his rosary.  I was so happy to finish this a few weeks ago in time for his formal portrait.  This rosary was made with love and included several components that I chose specifically for him… his name and year is engraved on the back of the crucifix, the amethyst Swarovski crystals were used for his favorite color purple, and I chose a St. Gabriel center piece for the archangel that he is named after.
