Dear Olivia,
This past Sunday (December 9th), I sent you to play by yourself for 45 minutes, so that I could accomplish some church to-dos. About a half hour later, you came to me and said, "Mom, I need you to get your scriptures and read the birth of Jesus story."
After a few persistent requests, I stopped and went upstairs. What I came upon was a memorable and cherished scene: In front of me lay your baby "Jesus" with stuffed animals surrounding him. Some of the stuffed animal's heads were covered of which were Joseph and Mary, and the rest were the wise men and the animals. You wanted to act the entire story out from the moment Jesus was born until the wise men came to offer their gifts (of which you had also planned for). I read the story, and you acted out the parts. What a lovely Sunday activity. How fun it is to raise a special daughter like you!
What a way to celebrate the Spirit of Christmas!
Love,
Your mama
