Today we celebrated Dylan's confirmation and it was a wonderful day, the weather was rain and wind and more rain, but the day was perfect!
The hymns and prayers brought a tear to my eye, and I was so so proud of him. It just doesn't feel like his communion was so long ago and we are already celebrating his confirmation! We traveled back to Dublin so Dylan could make his confirmation with his old school friends, this was really important to him as they had celebrated so many other milestones together over the years. I really must say the teacher put so much work and effort into their preparation, and they really made her proud. I was asked to sing for communion, which was really special for me to do too, and I was delighted to be asked. The whole ceremony was just really well thought out and beautiful.

We held a family meal for grandparents after the service and reception in the school, we had the dinner in the Royal Marine Hotel in Dunlaoghaire, and it was amazing! I loved my outfit for the day, can you tell!!

The hotel did up a special little platter for Dylan for his dessert, he was delighted with it!
Finally, I needed to add the beautiful grounds of the hotel, it is one of our favourite hotels, and they put on a great day for us.
It was a very special day, and we are so proud of Dylan and so happy to pass on the light to him to shine in his own journey through his spiritual life,
Well done Dylan
Congratulations on your special day, we love you, and Lauren was so proud of her big brother it was really lovely to see!
