First Communion - Erica

My oldest Erica had her first communion today, I am so proud of her, she went up to the front and was recognized and then she was brave enough to read her statement on what communion means to her. She did awesome. We arrived back at church at noon to share a meal in celebrating this big step for her. The meal was awesome, and then the church had us do a Seder Meal. My first! It was neat to be with all my kids and learn the way Jesus did things. It was funny because Nicholas was getting pretty sick of drinking the juice and eating gross stuff. But he made it thru it. I am so proud of Erica. It was funny because I just assumed Erica knew that today was the day she would do her first communion. when we were getting ready to go up, I showed her how to hold her hands so that they knew she was receiving. she looked at me surprised, and said I GET TO EAT THE BREAD!!! Not sure what she was thinking what the day was all about... but she was very pleased. After church we came home and took a much needed Sunday nap Me, Rick, Erica & Brooke. While we snoozed off into a warm snugly sleep the other two completely destroyed the house, it looked like a tornado hit us. I couldn't believe it, in an hours time how much damage they could do. I didn't think it was possible. and I was right there with them on the couch!!! so the rest of our Sunday afternoon was spent cleaning up the mess. The nap was NOT worth it. Well, I suppose should get ready for a busy week.
Until I write again
