I have been enjoying seeing Christmas through Emily's little eyes this year - she is noticing Christmas for the first time and is so full of wonder and excitement. It has reminded me of this song:She sat by the fireside 'til her eyes became too heavy,
and she wandered off in dreams with elves at play.
Daddy found her sleepin' and took her up to bed,
where she would spend the night in Santa's flying sleigh.
Christmas was a whisper in her ear
Sounds that only children's hearts can hear.
Little one, in the morning when you waken
You'll find your every dream has taken form
There'll be joy...
Christmas day will come to life because of you
you are loved, little one!
Mary lay and pondered until her eyes became too heavy
and she finally found the rest she'd struggled for.
Joseph sat in silence, watched the baby sleeping
wondered what the future held in store.
Angel voices whispered in his ear
Reaching down, he drew the baby near.
Little one, in the morning when you waken
the world will find that God has taken form.
They'll be joy...
And the earth will have new life because of you
You are loved, little one.

Glad to know I'm not the only one out there who thinks the Oakridge Boys=Christmas music :) I still have a copy of their album that my mom used to play. . .
Thanks for the adorably cute photo! You put a smile on my face yet again :)
