Christmas at Grace

I felt like I was walking in my moms shoes last night.  I remember so many Christmas services where the 5 of us kids would march up the stage after it was over (in our matching sweatshirts that had ironed-on nativity scenes) and we would be forced to smile for a Christmas picture.  Out of all the ones I took this one was the best (?).  At least Noah was smiling and looking at the camera.

It felt like it was finally Christmas last night.  We all as a family went to the Christmas caroling/worship service at Grace.  The music was amazing.  The sermon pointed us to where our thoughts should be during this crazy season.  And the kids favorite part - lighting candles at the end while we sang Silent Night and O Holy Night (which also reminds me of my mama). 

I love Christmas, and can't believe it is just days away!
