We have had a GREAT Christmas! Opening presents, visiting with family...it has been a busy day. And since sickness in the Roberson household kept us in St. Simons (my first time not being in Albany in 30 years!) we decided it was time to start some of our own traditions. Yesterday we made a birthday cake for Baby Jesus -- which we decided could only be eaten on Christmas day. Will attended his first "big church" service last night at The Chapel. The highlight for him was seeing Santa at the front of the church (there's a man at our church who has a strong resemblance and just happened to be serving communion!). We had dessert with some good friends and then brought the boys home and got them dressed in their Christmas pajamas. We all got into Will's bed and Brian read the story of Baby Jesus. I had Will's nativity set and showed him all of the people his daddy was reading about. Tonight after supper we sang Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus as Will held the Baby Jesus from his nativity scene. After singing commenced Will proceeded to give Baby Jesus a big kiss. What a great reminder from a 2 year old about the true reason we celebrate Christmas!
