Congratulations Andray Paul on your 1st Holy Communion!

What a weekend! So proud of our Andray Paul as he received his 1st Holy Communion. 
Such a special sacrament.



Very proud of the way Roslyn and Carrine celebrated for and with Andray.
They were truly and whole-heartedly happy for him.

Andray wore his Great Gpa Andy Stang's brown tie, very special.
No doubt Great Gpa Andy was looking down on him yesterday.

Andray also wore his Papa Larry's tie cross pin and a crucifix necklace that Jake and I got him. 3 things he can wear for a very long time!


Roslyn was a great help with decorating...Andray's artwork and certificates.

Andray made sure to set up his Perller Bead "Shop" in the garage where the food would be served.
He wanted his guests to shop for "free," but return what they "bought" before leaving.
Too fun!

Thanks to my mom for finding these amazing 1st Communion plates and napkins.

Thanks to Great Gma Rausch for bringing her infamous sticky buns!

Thankful for all of the amazing gifts...very special.


So very thankful for all the family members who came to celebrate with Andray.
A special thank you to my Gram, who brought one of my Grandpa Shorty's handkerchiefs that I wanted to have with me during mass. Even after Gpa has passed 10 1/2 years ago, his hanky still smelled like him! I knew he was with us during mass.

So proud of our Little Man.

Memories for a lifetime.

Love my Godfather Jeff.

Our Family of 5...the girls were able to wear the flower girl dresses from our wedding nearly 11 years ago...yet another special detail of the day.

May your 1st Communion be the first of many steps in your journey with Jesus...we love you Andray Paul!
