When my whole family gets together for Christmas we always have a Christmas Eve dinner and a telling of the Christmas story. This year all the kids dressed up. Audrey was an angel.
She told everyone that she was going to sing "Angels We Have Heard On High". Except for when they told her that it was time she didn't want to. I'm sure it was because all she knew was the chorus and she got confused when they weren't calling it the "Gloria Song". I helped her along and she sang her first part solo ever. I was proud of her for even wanting to sing in front of everyone. She's already leaps and bounds ahead of her Mom.
It was so nice to be with everyone that night. There's something special about us all being together. We may not agree on everything and we may even get on each others nerves every now and then but when we all come together like this I can't help but think that I wished that we all lived just a little bit closer to each other.
I loved to watch all of these kids together being so reverent, Tessie as she sang, Jennifer with her sweet new miracle baby, James as he got in his Mom's face to give her a kiss. This is what it's all about and I'm glad that I got to be apart of it.
