Sometimes things actually happen the way you want them to.
We had some concerns about Lucy getting swept up in the "getting" game of the holiday season. However, this Christmas, Lucy was only mildly interested in Santa. Mostly she was transfixed by the story of Jesus birth. She wanted to hear the story over and over again, and when hearing wasn't enough, she decided to act it out.
All month long.
She assigned us roles. She was Mary, Simon was Joseph, I was a "Sheferd," and Henry was "one of the kings."
We were reminded of the wonder of Christmas and the unimaginable gift we'd received.
Here's one of Lucy's costumes. Pink robe and pillowcase are all that she needed.
Henry threw himself into his role of "one of the Kings" and began looking for the Christ Child with great vigor and determination.
O holy night!
