My two sweet angels were angels in the Church Christmas Program on Sunday. Ainsley truly “hammed it up.” A star in the making. The ironic part of that story is that for the hour prior to the program she wanted nothing to do with singing. She went from one loving set of arms to another lamenting her woes and claiming that her tummy hurt. I told her that if she sang I would let her climb into my bed at home and watch Disney channel all afternoon. I would like to think that that did the trick. But only when all of the other kids were up there did Ainsley decide to go. She truly put on a show! Where was that sad little girl with her tear stained face? She wasn’t going to miss an opportunity to amaze her audience with her talents!
Madie enjoyed herself too but was slightly preoccupied by the fact that no one mentioned her birthday that morning during Sunday school opening. It is her birthday on Friday (in case you hadn’t heard . . . I am pretty sure that she put an ad out in the newspaper) and she has only obsessed about it since her birthday last December. She has been looking in the mailbox every day for a week looking for mail with her name on it. So of course, no mention on Sunday was not good. Many reassurances from some caring adults at church that we would do it next Sunday made her feel a little better. She too loves the stage.
