Evan's special day

Yesterday was a very special day for a 7 year old around here... Evan made his First Holy Communion!!! We are so proud of the great job he did. He looked so very handsome in his suit & tie! Evan was up bright & early, so excited about the day ahead. I had to keep telling him to wait to get his suit on, but quickly got himself ready as soon as I gave the green light. Evan was grinning from ear to ear most all the day & loved the fact that Dan & I gave him a gift of a St. Christopher medal {his middle name} & a Cross tie tack to wear to mass. He did a wonderful job doing his reading at mass & was so very excited to receive Communion for the very first time. When mass was over we all couldn't wait to get back home to welcome our family to celebrate along with us! We had a great dinner & a relaxing afternoon with everyone. Another highlight to his afternoon came when Fr. Beckman came to visit, have a piece of pie & blessed all his special gifts that he had received. What a great day!!! Congratulations Evan... We love you!
