Today was Aidan's First Communion! We have been really lucky to find an English speaking church near us, and to top it off, the church offers religious ed classes at our school! So all year, Aidan and Lainey have been doing RE 2 mornings a week. Aidan has been preparing for his communion, and Lainey has just been learning a lot.
Today, Aidan made his First Communion with 11 other kids from his school and the larger International school campus. They all did a great job and looked so handsome and beautiful. Aidan wasn't so happy to have to dress up, but ended up looking great and was very proud of himself. He even had to read one of the Prayers of the Faithful and bring up the gifts. He told me he'd like to do that more often!
After church, we went out to a nice lunch with the families of the other 2 girls who go to Aidan's school. We all had a great time celebrating, but of course we wish we could have been celebrating with our own family!
