A Moment with the McBrooms: First Holy Communion

Yesterday was a bittersweet, joyful and awesome day as both of our kids, Cheyann and Haden, took their First Communion. I missed my Mom and Dad during the service and was saddened that they were not there; however, a few bumps and bruises sidelined Mom. (Thankful she is okay!) Grandma Haught was able to come spend the weekend with us (I think we wore her out!) It was super special having their with us and we celebrated in this event. Having her there had me thinking of all the times Grandpa would serve Communion when we were little kids!

Haden was so super proud and I think he grinned from ear to ear the entire time. He also went through First Communion with a good friend and baseball buddy of his, Ty and a dear friend of ours, Abbey. You can totally tell that neither one of them want to get close to the other. We will save that shot for their Senior year.

Cheyann looked like such a young little lady (makes me sad and proud / happy all at the same time) She was the oldest receiving First Communion and gave me strict orders she was not going to wear a veil. Mom made the flower piece for her and it turned out really cute! She did a wear a dress. Although I wouldn't bank on her wearing it again.
