A nephew's communion

Previous Thursday Jan's godchild was celebrating his first communion.  So it was time for a big family gathering and party with delicious catering, bouncing castles and toys, presents, .... but first the church service.

a reception outside the church

Presents presents presents...as the lucky boy exclaimed all of a sudden "I lost count!!"

Reception while the first kids were testing the bouncing castle

The traditional cutting of an ice lamb

Some family pictures

More playing in the garden  or harassing the chickens

It was a great relax day to enjoy and the predicted rain waited until we got back in the car to drive home.  Just perfect.
