Today we unwrapped our "First Christmas" book that GB and Pappi sent us last year.. Claire and Nick spent the first three pages saying things like "We know Pappi" and "I love you too!". At the end Claire told me she loves her Pappi 100. (That's high praise, she loves me 20 and Jim anywhere between 8 and 15.)
We have been reading all about that First Christmas, Claire is really enjoying it and asking some really good questions that make me think....
Today while we read about the wise men she counted them in the book... One, Two, Three. 'How come there's only 3?' Because there were 3 kings who came to see Jesus, remember they followed the star from very far away. 'But where was everyone else?'
Knowing what we know now, it is amazing to her that not everyone followed that star to meet Baby Jesus.
This weekend we'll be going to see all the bright lights of Christmas but my little girl reminds me to always remember the first bright light of Christmas.
Merry Christmas!

I am so sorry that I didn't check your blog earlier to read this. I probably would have had to fly to NYC that day. I love you all so much. You all make me so happy.
