I made my first holy communion on 12th May. There were 24 of us, 12 boys and 12 girls. I was very, very, VERY nervous because I was singing on my own for the first time in the church. There were a lot of people in the church, every seat was full.
My aunties, uncles, cousins, Momo and Dado travelled fromLondonandGalwayto see me make my communion. They all really liked my song and thought the church looked really good and so did I. I sat next to Padraig in the fourth row. The bread tasted different than I expected. I thought that it would taste like a white chocolate button but it DIDN’T! There was a happy feeling all around the church.
After mass we went back to my house for a big party. There were about 30 people at my house and they all had good fun. I had a bouncy castle in the garden and I played soccer with Aaron, Shane, Finn, Marty and Johnny. When the smaller kids had a go on the bouncy castle we played on the trampoline. We had a party tent in the garden and my aunt Donna stuck up a big banner with my picture on it.
It was my Dads 40th birthday around that time so we had a joint birthday and communion cake. It had a picture of me on my communion on one half and a picture of my Dad from when he made his communion on the other half.
Even though I was sad when everyone went home I was happy because I had the best communion day ever!
