Fully Alive…Ready to Smile

A star in the making




 
Ella was very excited about the Christmas program at church.  Until we were on the way there and she realized mommy would not be coming on stage with her.  She had been practicing her beautiful songs every day (and night), and she found out at church the morning of the program that she would get to be an angel.  Oh what joy, what bliss.  She is obsessed with angels these days, ever since we put one on the tree.  So we got her in her costume and I snuck away hoping and praying that she would make it up to the stage without a scene.  But how surprised I was when she marched up there like a trooper and sang and did all the actions and even waved when it was all over.

My family


 
I just wanted to show everyone what we look like together.  It’s a rare occurance, even though we only live a few minutes apart.  It seems with all our busy schedules and everything, we don’t get to be together very often.  We won’t even be together at Christmas.  But all the same, when we are together, we have fun.  And this time Aidan didn’t even cry at Kerry and Brady!  What progress.
