From our family, to yours… wishing you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year!
It’s Cordelia’s first Christmas!

Have a blessed day rejoicing in the Son of God entering the world as a human baby so that He could one day reconcile us to God!
I have three favorite Christmas season memories with Vera this year, so far. One of them I posted about yesterday. Another one was getting to make cookies with her last Friday!
She “got it” this year, for the most part, and was able to help roll the dough and cut out the cookies (kind of).
Of course she thought the cookies tasted delicious!
My #1 favorite memory of Vera this Christmas season was when we went caroling last Thursday. She did really great as we went room to room, singing to various residents. In one room, she made a beeline for an older woman sitting in a recliner. She climbed up on her lap and cuddled with her while we sang our songs!
I had tears in my eyes as I watched her show love and spread Christmas joy. It was so precious!
My heart is overflowing with joy this season, and I am so thankful for my sweet family!
That’s not my child trying to climb into the choir loft during the Christmas play at church.
That’s also not my child screaming, “I want to open it!” while holding a present in the middle of the play.
Of course it’s not my child who threw her jingle bells across the stage.
It’s definitely not my child who decided to lay down on stage in the middle of the solo…
…and who then decided to roll over on her back to get a better view of the ceiling.
That’s not my child attempting to run off the stage!
Actually, it totally is my child. 🙂 And she made me laugh so hard during the play tonight I was crying. I love that she is a big bundle of energy… I wouldn’t have her any other way!!
