Finally, the big day was here. Joey wasn't really nervous about receiving his First Holy Communion, although he did take it very seriously. As you can see from all the pictures, he didn't smile once! Since he was also being confirmed, the bishop was at Mass as well. Joey had asked my mom to be his sponsor, and I think she was really honored. He was really happy that she had said yes!
After Mass, we came back to our house, where my mother and great-aunt were furiously preparing food according to my lists they made me write out! It all turned out wonderfully and a lot of people came. Altogether I think there were about 20 adults, 20 little kids and 10 or so teenagers. I hadn't planned nearly enough food (and none of it was kid-friendly), and luckily Paul realized this just before everyone showed up and went out and got a bunch of pizza. Everyone seemed to have a great time, and luckily it was a beautiful day so we could all sit outside. Joey was so grown up and we are so proud of him!
Here are more pictures, with captions.
