Jacob the lamb.

Friday night was the Christmas party @ church. We had teetered on whether or not we wanted to go for over a week. Clyde had his work party that same night and so we were planning on attending that. We had asked my Mom if the kids could play @ their house, while we went to the SWRMS staff party. The plan was to drop the kids off @ Mom and Dad's house. Then we got a phone call from Christi, the director of the children's nativity, and she said that Erin had been chosen to be Mary. Erin had wanted to be Mary for a while, as every other girl does, but Erin had wanted it most sincerely. Anyway, that meant that our plans had to change. Mom said that she would drive here, so that after the nativity part of the night, Clyde and I could take off to the the other party, and that she would bring the children back to our house. So, again, we were ready for this party. Then Thursday, Mom called to say that my baby brother, Ty, had gotten the rotavirus and that plans needed to change. We spent awhile trying to figure out another way to make it to the work party. We came to the conclusion that the work party wasn't an option. We loved seeing our children up on the stage. They were beautiful! On the drive home, Erin said that her, "wish had come true!" That comment made the night spectacular!!
