This year the season has had a bit of magic as we celebrate and teach David about this season.
We also celebrate that our little guy turned 31 months old on Saturday.
As we have moved through these weeks of Advent we have seen David's face full of wonder and delight as he experiences this season for the glory and hope that it represents.
He has spent many nights studying the lights, ornaments, and garland on the Christmas tree.
He has stood at the fire place looking up at the Nativity and talked to Baby Jesus
He awakes each morning looking for his friend Elfie
And finds him doing the funniest things
We have driven through the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights and David says things like, "OOO look at that, its pretty!"
We have baked cookies
Every night as the lights come on outside we hear a sweet little two year old voice say with much excitement, "It's Christmas time!"
David has even had fun this past weekend running through the sprinklers at the end of December celebrating the warm weather... and yes he has his goggles ready
But most of all we have tried to teach him about the promise of Jesus and the hope that He gives us.
And on the third week of Advent out of the blue as we blew out the candles David began singing Happy Birthday to Jesus, maybe he is understanding just a little.
Merry Christmas!
I love the picture of David looking at the presents. Elfie sure is funny going fishing for goldfish:) Can't wait to see you all soon.
ReplyDeleteYes, the photo of David looking up at the Christmas tree is a definite Christmas card scene. But, I love how he talks to baby Jesus. What does he say? And when he sees our lights, he can again say, "It's Christmas Time!"
ReplyDeleteSee you tomorrow and can't wait.
Christmas Love, Grandad and Gram
