Erin McClean was proud as punch as she watched her little man make his first Holy Communion on Saturday.
Pictures from the day show James, who the family calls Junior, looking suited and booted in a grey jacket and matching waistcoat with a black shirt and trousers but it looks like the festivities kicked off the night before.
Erin shared snaps of their son hilariously flexing in front of a giant stack of balloons with the logo First Holy Communion and joked that it was ‘the most Junior picture ever.’

‘Love this kid more than words could ever say,’ she went on to add. More pictures from the night before show him looking utterly chuffed as he posed alongside his baby sister Mia Rose.
The next day Erin managed to get all her brood together for the most wholesome picture with James looking sharp in suit and wearing his hair slicked back while his sisters were dressed in matching white dresses.

Erin also opted for an all-white outfit consisting of white capri-style trousers and a chic one-shoulder bustier style top.
It looks like the family plans on celebrating James’ communion in style. In an earlier clip from the day before Erin showed what appears to be their back garden kitted out with a bouncy castle and an inflatable target.
The celebration comes after Erin opened up to EVOKE about how their daughter Willow-Ivy’s autism diagnosis has brought the family closer together.

Erin said: ‘The world can be quite cruel… but I do worry about that when she gets older in school and when kids start recognising a difference.
‘Even for the future someday we’ll not be here. I think she’s very lucky to have the brother and sister that she has.

‘I wouldn’t have changed this experience for the world because I genuinely think it’s made us, as a family; we just need to stick together.’
Happy First Holy Communion, Junior!
