Peyton's First Communion

Starting last September we started the process of preparing Peyton for his First Communion.  Every Sunday from September through May he had First Communion class before mass while B and I had a parents class to attend.  It was a lot of time and work but he learned a lot and was well-prepared.  He is just growing up so fast!  I can remember my First Communion in this same church like it was yesterday!  We are very proud of him. 
 

Livvy wanted a picture in front of Mary too.

Two of his good friends from school, Shea and Allison, go to our church too so it was fun for them to study and go through the process together.

Peyton along with another girl were chosen to do readings.  He amazes me! The reading he had was difficult...with many hard-to-pronounce names.  We practiced the day before like crazy and he did awesome! He spoke clearly and wasn't nervous at all!  I would have never done that at his age (or now...way too shy for that!)
 
Here's the video of his reading.

Lots of family came to support him.  Of course, his favorite cousin Austin!
