Michael had a lovely First Communion at St. Laurentius. He carried his baptismal candle, which Nick and Patrick had decorated for him when he was a baby. He did a beautiful job reading his "have mercy on us" few sentences. 
Georg's parents and Michael's godfather Norbert with Robbie and Lillie were there (godmother Susan was at a conference in Edinburgh) were also there. After a nice catered meal at home (Michael's choice), he opened his gifts (thank you!) and built his new Lego model.
Then we had coffee and cake with Patrick on Skype (look carefully at the display cabinet at the dining table).At 6 we went to the evening service, then again this morning he had mass, which is why communion children get Monday free!
This afternoon was reserved for our immediate neighbors to come over for cake (fresh strawberry cake, a cherry-cream cake made by Omi for yesterday's festivities, a lemon pound cake, and the (in)famous Nancy Reagan Vienna Bars!! Unfortunately, I forgot to take photos with the neighbors, but it was indeed nice having them over for a glass of champagne, coffee, and cake!And with all the cake, we also thought of Bennett on his 36th birthday today!!
Yay, Michael! Here's a belated congratulations from all of us. We were in Hawaii at the time and just returned. Looks like you had a wonderful day.
