Noah was insistent he would attend the "big" church service on Christmas Eve at City Church instead of going in the children's worship. He held strong even after we dropped Beckett off and reminded him you can't talk in "big" church. Once the music began he was (almost) speechless during "O Holy Night" and with good reason the band is pretty awesome, too. Noah soaked it all in, sang along to a few songs and then began to doze off during Pastor Dean's sermon (it was perfect but Noah needed a nap). :) He woke up just in time for a candlelight 'Silent Night'. It was a special service and I'm proud of Noah for wanting to celebrate Jesus' birth in "big" church, it seems somewhat symbolic of how he is growing up and (I pray) beginning to understand the true meaning of Christmas.
But don't worry-Santa already came to our house tonight. Tomorrow will be a very special day for our family especially Noah as he gets to celebrate his first Christmas ever.
Matthew 1:23 "See, the virgin will become pregnant and give birth to a son, and they will name Him Immanuel, which is translated, "God with us."
