Tristan's first holy communion

Our anniversary came.. At this point we’d already had a pretty busy weekend but we had church regardless and we were invited to celebrate Tristan’s First Holy Communion.. for the Christians in our life who are confused - In Catholicism, practicing Catholics make their first Holy Communion at the age of seven or eight. This is considered the age of reason in Catholicism. Thus children making their first Holy Communion can understand exactly what they are doing when they first accept the bread and blood of Jesus. In Christian denominations, bread and wine may be passed to all members of a church once they have accepted Christ in our hearts. The Adame/Fertitta family is very close to us… we’ve done a lot for them and they’ve always been there for us so we stopped our day to make sure we could celebrate with Tristan for his special day.

We showed up as the priest entered the church so we sat far away from the group of communion students (and got no pictures of Tristan receiving his first communion) but this is what the sea of little people looked like in the church pews. We celebrated his first holy communion at Brio, where Drew and I also celebrated our one month anniversary so in our hearts celebrating our two year anniversary, it was equally as special as we planned it to be. Tristan’s cake was made by Freeds Bakery.
