Prayers were answered in a big way this week and we have remained healthy! For the first time, we were able to attend the North Atlanta Christmas Festival at church as a family (without someone being very sick). This year, Nicholas was old enough to attend with us instead of staying down in the nursery and I'm not sure who was more excited about it, him or me. I had told him that at the end of the show we would see the story of baby Jesus and he could not wait! He sat on the edge of his seat the entire time, each song and performance more exciting than the last. In the begining he saw Frosty the Snowman and two huge Panda bears and Toy Soldiers. I wondered if he would enjoy the middle section where the choir sings but he loved all the lights and songs and sang right along, even when he didn't know the words. The show ended with the miraculous story of Jesus's birth. The costumes are tremendous and it's as if you are truly there with the shepherds and the wise men! Nicholas couldn't contain himself and begged me to run up and meet baby Jesus and hold him! (Little did he know that baby Jesus was really baby Kate, my friend Stephanie's daughter, who we had been over playing with on Monday!)
It was an amazing performance and God moved in powerful ways! We are so thankful for all of the people that work so hard to put the production together! It is the best way to start off the Christmas season and remember the miraculous birth we are celebrating.
Saturday we were off to Peachtree City to celebrate Trip's 5th Birthday! How is it that five years have passed since this precious boy came into our lives?? He is so BIG now and almost in kindergarten!! I can't believe it! We had a great family dinner with pizza, cake and presents! Nicholas just loves spending time with Trip and the cousins are all so cute together. And as Nolan keeps getting bigger and is playing more and definitely moving more, it was so fun watching all 4 cousins together. We are so blessed with our wonderful family, and the kiddos just make our times together even more fun! Happy Birthday Trip! We love you!!
