6 and 5 days to go...


Updated: She sang beautifully. Not a lot of smiling and showing off like at home. She was taking her singing very seriously. But she looked out at the audience, completely unafraid, and sang proudly!
We have been dragging around here the past couple of days! We are trying to get our Christmas cards mailed (our address list was lost on our last hard drive that crashed!), playing in basketball games, buying birthday presents (Happy Birthday Uncle Rick and Mimi!!) and buying last minute Christmas presents and clothes.

Lydie is so proud of her Christmas dress. (Nevermind it was less than $10 at Target!) She tried it on for us today to make sure it all fits. She twirled and said, "I so pretty!" a dozen times. She will wear it tomorrow at church. She is singing "Away in a Manger" with the other toddlers. She has practiced every day for two weeks! We are excited to hear all the babies sing. I always cry when the little ones sing.
Our hearts grow tender with childhood memories and love of kindred, and we are better throughout the year for having, in spirit, become a child again at Christmas-time. ~Laura Ingalls Wilder

I always cry when the little ones sing, too...
