Here they are...in all their newly "hosted-up" glory!
See how Jesus is sort of glowing in the background over their heads?
I am pretty sure that was a divine message telling me I should go and buy myself a lovely gift for being such a FINE Catholic mother...
(Either that, or it is a spotlight. But whatever, I am still shopping)
The white pants did NOT stay white. Douglas managed to sit in something. It was raining. There were puddles and mud and wet shoes. They are boys. Dirty white pants where pretty much a forgone conclusion.
As soon as we got home, we tossed aside the vests, ties, and white pants. Then they partied in their polos...
Then on Sunday, the Catholic-cation continued with the Baptism of my Fairy God Niece, Erin!
(I look a bit like I am winking in this picture. I think maybe the spirit was moving me...)
The Spirit was DEFINITELY moving me in this one...
The best thing about celebrating Three Little Catholic Blessings in two days?
Cake!
Lots of delicious cake with crosses made of buttercream frosting on top!
Amen. And YUM!
Stumble It!

It does look like you had a great day and I don't think anyone thought for even a minute that those pants would stay white. I'm glad you had such a blessed day and the spirit would have moved me too.
Happy Monday!
AWww! What a special day & wonderful pictures! Congratulations to your boys!
So nice! Congrats on everything!
And for the record, I can't keep white pants clean either!
Gorgeous pics!!
Hope you enjoyed the cake. What a great perk!
sadly we all knew the whites wouldn't stay white, but they were adorable and still adorable partying in their polos! Heres to a great week of Left Over Cake!
awwwwwwwwwwww, i want a fairy god neice!!!
Lots of white cake with raspberry filling and BUTTERCREAM and crosses over here too! Definitely one of the best parts of Catholic celebrations!!!
By the way, Jenni, you look adorable as usual! Wink away. You're darling!
Wait, all this time I've been avoiding church and now you tell me there's CAKE?!
Don't they look absolutely angelic in their First Communion pictures?
You will pull those pictures out and sigh longingly when they hit the teenage years!
It's so weird, because we baptize kids when they are 8, and I have another blog friend with twins, who look nothing alike, and they were both baptized on Saturday, and wearing all white.
It's kind of eerie!
How funny. Since when did kids wearing all white at communions and baptisms become eerie? What kind of a culture are we living in? (I'm just kind of thinking of one of the other comments someone made.) I really enjoy seeing kids that are being raised with some sense of their religion. It's very healthy. And the white looks great!
Cake! Makes me want to be baptized all over again.
CAKE!
Sorry. I got excited there.
Really cute pictures. I don't think even I could keep my white clothes white. I'm a fairly messy person, you see.
Yep, y'all do look kinda glowy! And @ least you have photographic proof that once upon a time your boys wore white & looked Good! (@ least until the mud/dirt vicously attacked them! he,he)
Ummmm, buttercream.
It would take more than a miracle to keep white pants white, especially with mud and rain. You are certainly a fine Catholic mother and I think a lovely gift is definitely in order (who was responsible for making sure the boys made it to CCD).
very sweet- ours was last weekend- but we are a VERY large school so second part was this weekend and then we have May Crowning and pictures this week- what a pain in the ass- I mean, Alleluia!
I think its wonderful the way you are bringing your boys up with morals and religious tradition. So rare to see these days and such an important part of a childs formation.
I LOVE these pictures! Glad you had such a nice spirit filled weekend. :)
Your boys are so cute. I want some cake.
LMAO @ Amen and Yum!
The spirit did appear to be moving you. You look like it may have moved you to the communal wine cellar.
Nothing sacrilegious intended God. Amen. (please no lightening bolt, please no lightening bolt)
Holy cake eating is the BEST!
All white clothing + my boys= DISASTER!
Sounds like a wonderful weekend!
Sounds like your weekend was wonderful :) beautiful pictures :)
Congrats on a special day and I love the pictures of your boys, they look so ADORABLE!!!
What a wonderful celebration! The kiddos are darn cutie pies! And cake...ahhh...yummy cake!
Aww! Everyone looks adorable. Congrats and the cake does look delish!
Very handsome kids you've got there! Glad everything went well.
mmmmmm....buttercream! I eat more frosting when I make my cakes...gotta try it out, right? YUM!
They look awesome and clean :)
Cake? Where?
I'm not Catholic, heck I'm not even Christian, so I don't know much about Catholic-ing in the children.. BUT I do know you look SO FRIGGEN ADORABLE in that last photo winking. You are so darn cute I swear!
I'm pretty sure we worship the same GOD.
Ooh how I love me some confirmation cake. Yum.
The kids all look adorable!
That's why God made bleach and stain remover!
And pie!
recovering Catholic here , tee hee!
I love seeing them all dressed up! And I have to say I'm a big fan of cake !!!!
They look like such little angels. My husband recently converted which means I am next in line. Dun dun duuunnn...
How cute!I know what you mean about white clothes!
Don't they look like dapper young men!
I think I need to show one of the moms on safety patrol your blog because she swears that white pants for boys do not exist.
Oh YAAY! That is so great it gave me chills. They look SOOO Handsome!
Love and Prayers,
Tim
They look adorable.. and they APPEAR to be behaving the entire time! bonus!
The spirit was definitely moving you in the photos.
Congrats on such a special day. We celebrated a first communion too.
How sweet! They look so cute! :)
Your boys looks so cute all in white and what a great picture with Jesus right above them. God bless them and baby!!
