Cecilia's First Holy Communion

She had the option of doing it on Mother's Day with all of her peers or choosing a different Sunday when family and friends could come. Of course our social butterfly wanted family and friends to celebrate with! 

Rehearsal

All ready to go. So beautiful!

Godparents!

I only took a few party pictures because I was so busy being the hostess. But we had this pretty star pinata that she and I picked out and filled the week before. We had a lunch party with grandparents, her  Godparents and several families with many sweet children to celebrate the occasion. Mariana is in Ireland but Face Timed after the party was over and promised to bring her back a special gift!

She received some very nice gifts and was so happy at the end of the day. What a wonderful day to celebrate this sacrament!

Stephen's Confirmation

 It was a huge group this year, and our diocese is currently without a bishop. So Fr. Albert celebrated the sacrament. I was so thankful the whole family could be there (although we didn't get many photos!). We are so happy for Stephen, and had a big party at the house afterwards with family and friends.

Lito, his Godfather, was able to make it. At least we got some pictures of them together!

I made these cookies for the Confirmation Party and also for First Communion next weekend!

Sports!

I am not sure who decided we should have spring training for fall sports while spring sports are still finishing up. It is a little crazy, but we are making it work!

Football Spring Training finale...a team scrimmage

And last baseball game for this guy!

Piano Guild Auditions

 They have been working so hard and practicing a lot to prepare to play for the judge. They did great!

Little people

 The family Mariana babysits for is moving into our neighborhood, so we have had lots of time with their little people lately. So fun!
