Aidan made his first communion with almost his entire third grade class, the same boys and girls he has been attending school with since kindergarten. It was unbearably sweet to see all of them together, bursting with pride over their collective moment. They are a wonderful group of kids and I feel very lucky that Aidan is a part of them.
I also felt quite nostalgic watching Aidan during the mass, remembering that this same church was the church in which Chris and I were married, that Aidan and his brothers were baptized, and now Aidan's was celebrating his first communion. It makes each celebration that much more special because of all the memories surrounding this one place.
And of course, after everyone had eaten at our celebration brunch, it isn't a true family celebration without a drag out, Wii battle between all the "boys" of the family. (I think Uncle Seth and Uncle Travis get even more excited than the little boys for these video game wars.)
