I must say I'm totally relieved the First Holy Communion ceremony has ended. The run up to the event was pretty hectic, which started earlier this year, culminated on Friday (Reconciliation for the First Communicants) and everything finally settled down on Sunday.
Much of the confusion stemmed from lack of communication or improper dissemination of information from the committee to the parents of the children. While the teachers and the committee did a great job, it would have been better if the parents were not given a runaround especially with instructions on the children's attire.
One minute it was supposed to be white pants and then the next they decided on black pants. Luckily I waited till the last minute to buy the pants. Hopefully they have taken these shortcomings into consideration and next year's batch will be run more smoothly.
The kids were really tired at the end of it all. We woke up pretty early, dressed the boys... they both looked so handsome and dashing in white long sleeves shirt and black pants. My youngest definitely had a great time posing in front of the mirror, I could only wonder what he was thinking... :D
Below are some of the photos I managed to capture. I'm still waiting for the proper pictures from the professional photographer the Church hired, hopefully they won't cost a bomb...
My youngest boy loves to pose...
My eldest... deep in thought...
Attention...!!!
The First Communicants waiting patiently outside the Church
My youngest son never liked his picture taken with his friends around... shy la tu!
... Deep in prayer...
Part of the group in a group photoBoth of them mentioned enjoying the experience and want to go for the Holy Communion again on Sunday. I guess I'll have to drag my lazy self and attend mass regularly from now onwards. This only means getting up at 7.00am on a Sunday, attend mass from 8.00am to 9.00am and wait for them to finish their Sunday classes at 11.00am! I wonder if the Church has a computer I can borrow... LOL!
And on a different note, I'm a little late for my weekend cutting; I've been busy running around like a headless chicken the past week :D But here is today's edition for the weekend cuttings which is a theme based on flowers (red). Better late than never or so the saying goes...
Bunga Raya
