Venia First Communion

 A couple of weeks ago we headed to Cincinnati to witness Clara and Liam make their First Communion.  The whole extended family was there so lots of pictures were taken.  Cecilia with Aunt Pat.

Liam and Lia are old buddies.

Clara looked like an angel in her dress.

The kids found some bees in the bushes in front of the house.

Its a little out of focus but here's the three Pats sitting together at church.

 Hello Aunt Maureen!

Clara coming down the aisle...

...with Liam right behind.

We decided to take a picture of all 13 grandchildren together.  Here's some of the wackiness that ensued.

We're getting closer!

Finally all 13 kids and Grandma and Grandpa stood still long enough for a few pictures.

John was totally excited to get to hold the baby!

The Coffey kids with Lia.

 Afterward we went back to the Venia home for some food and fun.  I'm not sure Liam is having fun.

Erin had a great time with Cecilia.

But Uncle John won her heart with is amazing mustache.

It was a great weekend, sorry it took me so long to post these pictures.
