We always get together with my Mom & Dad for Christmas on Christmas Eve. It's usually in the morning so that the kids can open gifts before we all eat lunch & go down for a nap before Christmas Mass with the Stelly's.
Once we got all the kids together, Paw Paw started telling the Christmas story.
This year, he had Caleb, our Nephew, read from Luke 2.
If you've ever heard a child read scriptures, you know.
You know the power of a child's voice reading from scripture.
That morning was very special to listen to a little person just reading with wonder & innocence & purity.
Just to close your eyes & hear his voice telling the story.
Very sweet. Good Job Buddy!
8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night.
9An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.
11Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord.
12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
Then the unwrapping began.
The girls' were a hit! They all became PRINCESSES in a moment.
Tutu's & Tiaras!
Don't forget the magic wands!
This is the only shot I got of Bubbs during Christmastime!
He didn't sit still for a minute!!!
{And he didn't look happy at this, either!!}
Merry Christmas from the Stellys
