St. Athanasius, St. Anne, St. Maria Goretti, and St. Thomas Aquinas |
There he is at the far right as St. Thomas Aquinas. He's carrying the Summa, wearing two pillows to give the impression of a plumpness his scrawny frame lacks, and the crowning glory (pun totally intended), a tonsure with some brown coloring for the hair.
The judges at our parish's party were so impressed with Second Son's dedication to the cause with an actual hair cut, they awarded him the award for best boy costume. He was thrilled with his prize - a $10 gift card to one of his favorite stores.
He was so delighted with everyone's reaction, he insisted on keeping the tonsure for weeks. Kansas Dad finally convinced him to let us shave it off just before Thanksgiving in case we took some pictures (which we did not).
