I took Jessica and Sarah to the Christmas party at Jessica's school today. It began with a one hour church service. Jessica was pretty restless and basically wanted to leave the whole time. She does not enjoy sitting in a crowd of people. At one point in the service 4 very large paintings were brought on the stage. Jessica looked like she wanted to drag me to the stage to look at these paintings. I guess she saw them made. I did go see the paintings, but I waited until after the service. I'm sure no one in the room appreciated these paintings of the Christmas story more then Jessica. She got excited to see Jesus. It would have been nice if she could remain polite in the service. Sarah was very well behaved. But people were never "polite" around Jesus. Later I asked Jessica's teacher to ask Jessica what she would like to get for Christmas. At first Jessica wrote she wanted good food to eat. Then she wrote she didn't want any gifts because she could not say thank you (Jessica can not talk). I told Jessica she could write me a Christmas story, that would be thanks enough. She wrote that she would try. I think she is very sad she can not talk. I'm sad too. To hear her voice would be the best gift I could ever get! Just to hear her sweet voice.
My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!
