Dear Sophie,
Tonight is Christmas Eve - your first! We aren't regular church-goers - though sometimes I think about becoming more active in church. I felt like tonight was a good night to try out the Lutheran church here in our little town.
You were in awe of the big room and the big stained glass windows and candles and, of course..the ceiling fans. Have I told you about your love for ceiling fans yet? I will. Soon. In another post.
We sat near the back. We weren't sure how you were going to be since it was past your bedtime and kind of a long day for you, but you were in great spirits. Smiley, too. You kept staring at and pretending to be shy with the lady sitting behind us. I think you made her day.
Anyway...at one point in the service the pastor had all the little kids come up to the front. They were going to sit and talk about the scene in the manger the night Jesus was born.
The pastor says, "Ok...so there were some animals there...can any of you make animal sounds?"
Right on cue, you let out the biggest, loudest, funniest squeal you had in you!
The pastor exclaimed, "OOH! There's one!" and of course you drew a whole room full of eyes and smiles.
If you've seen any videos of yourself around this age, by now you probably know how loud and cute you can be.
For now though, you are tucked in to bed in your red & white striped Christmas jammies with the reindeer feeties and reindeer butt with visions of sugar plums dancing in your head. Mama and daddy can't wait for tomorrow to spend our first Christmas morning with you and in our new house.
Love you, little bear.
Mama
