Easter Story

So my dear sweet Katie unintentionally made her first communion on Easter Sunday.  We were asked to bring up the gifts at church and I said yes!  Then, when we got up there, we realized there were 4 things to carry.  A little daunting with a family of 4, two who are under 5. So.... Jay picked up Katie and I handed him a big container of host, we gave James a small container of host and I carried two pitchers of wine.  After explaining to James that those were not chippies, and he could not eat one, we proceeded up the aisle.  I was very nervous invisioning James spilling the entire container of host.  All eyes were on James and we were SO RELIEVED when we reached the end of the aisle and safely handed everything over to Father.  I grabbed James' hand and we walked down the aisle back to our seats and I was proud of my little family.  After church we were walking to our car and this woman I never met before says to us "so, did your daughter enjoy her First Communion?"  To which I looked at Jay and he said, "I was watching James and didn't notice that Katie picked a host out of the container and was nibbling on it as we made our way up the aisle."  But it's all ok, as it was not yet concecrated, it wasn't REALLY her First Communion.  But now we have a good story to tell at her real First Communion!
