Kayleigh and I attended a Christmas Dinner Theater at my friend Beth's Church (Old Town Baptist Church) Thursday evening for a mother/daughter night. Their church presented "Child of Love: Christmas in the Eyes of the Creator" by Ken Parker. What a great way to kick off the holiday season... remembering the REASON for the season!
Each year, before any gifts are opened, one of the kids reads the story of Baby Jesus.... both at our house, and at their grandparent's house. It's a tradition that started at my in-laws house after our first child was born (the first grandchild). We all look forward to it and the kids have all enjoyed reading the story. The adults enjoy it just as much... often, us softies end up with tears in ours eyes... both from hearing the story, and watching the kids sit quietly listening as the story is told.
So... if you haven't already, I encourage you to stop and remember why we celebrate Christmas... to celebrate the birth of our Savior. He is the REASON for the Season!

That is too cute. Can't wait to do those things with Margelle when she gets older!
