Confirmation Day

Today was B's Confirmation Day. After a year of classes, he finally made it. He was thrilled that Grandma B and Aunt A were able to join us. I just love this picture of him and grandma in church:

Here he is with his friend and fellow confirmand, A, who have been going to Sunday School together since they were probably 3 years old. They're quite the pair: they're both smart, both hate to do craft and neither has ever been too excited about going to Sunday School. They've put more than a few Sunday School teachers to the test.

Here's B cutting the confirmation cake during the fellowship hour after worship.

And here he is with Aunt A while we were having lunch at Giordano's.

It's tradition in our church that each of the ministries give the confirmands small gifts to tell them a bit about their ministry and to welcome them into the church family. B got a compass, three bookmarks, a bracelet, a T-shirt, a book and a game. Not a religious gift, but Andy and I gave him a Super Mario Party 9 Wii game that he'd been asking for. Grandma and Allison gave him cards. I think he got some money, but he didn't share that info with me.
