Sunday night was our childrens Christmas play at church. For the past several years Lydia and I have been in it. This year all four of us had a role. Dave and I represented Layton's parents and Lydia had a part with the children her age. Dave was soooo stressed out. Who knew that he does not like performing in front of others? He did fine, but afterwards said he did not ever want to do that again! Lydia's part involved 2 songs that her and another little girl were suppose to sing, well the other little girl ended up being sick so Lydia had to do it solo. I didn't think she would do much because in years past she hasn't done anything but stand there. To my surprise, she sang perfect not too loud, not too soft. I couldn't believe it. I was so proud for her. I was crying and laughing at the same time. When her part was done everyone clapped. Afterwards several people came up to her telling her what a wonderful job she did. Later that night I heard her asking Dave if she sounded like Taylor Swift or Hannah Montana! Awww, the dreams of a little girl. Last night she asked me if she could go back on the stage and sing again. Ummm, wonder if she will ever do it again. As you can see I did not have a camera with me. The one time she performed and I did get it. Hopefully Nannie got some good pictures.
We are getting ready for Christmas. Santa comes in 2 days... I can't wait to see Lydia's (and Daddy's) excitement this year. Daddy is getting a big surprise... and Lydia has really be excited about Santa this year. She told us a couple of weeks ago that she needed to sleep on the couch Christmas Eve in case he got stuck in the chimney. I guess it is the time of year but the past week she has been bouncing off the walls every mintue of the day. Miss Darlene mentioned it yesterday! I think we are use to her being calm and slow! I am sure after Christmas things will calm down, well maybe after her birthday!!!
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. I attached one of my favorite pictures of Lydia for a past Christmas!
