Acting Debut

Chad, Sydney and I were asked this year to be Mary, Joseph & Baby Jesus in this year's Christmas Eve service. So...we said yes. Thankfully there were no lines we just had to be on stage for a little bit. Sydney was a precious little baby Jesus and although right before "showtime" she was all bright-eyed and alert, she took the opportunity right as we entered church to take a little snooze. She was beautiful though. And as cheesy as it may sound, when we were "acting the part" and I was staring at my new perfect little baby, I couldn't help but think about Mary and have a new appreciation for what she felt the day Jesus was born. The wonderment at the birth of your child is amazing...the wonderment at the birth of your baby, the Savior, is unfathomable.
