Christmas is the Best Time of the Year...

Each year Santa comes to our church to visit the children, and this year Caroline got to sit in Santa's lap and tell him everything she would like for Christmas. She was so excited, that she was speechless. So Mommy helped her out and told Santa that she would like her two front teeth for Christmas. She had a blast and got to visit with Kylee and Lauren that night.

Amanda and Claire also came that night to visit with Santa. They have moved to Benton, and we hope that Claire and Caroline can grow to become great friends. Claire loved Santa!

Great-Grandpa Moren adoring little miss Caroline. She was to busy playing with her hands to take her bottle. She loves to play with her hands instead of taking her bottle. Her hands are constantly in her mouth now, but she still has not found her thumb.

We were asked by Tammie Green for Caroline to play baby Jesus in second service. She did so good, she slept the entire service. The choir was beatiful as they sang Christmas songs. I love Christmas music so much, I think I could listen to it all year long. I looked at Caroline during the singing and narration of Jesus's life and thought about Mary. I cannot imagine what Mary was going through. The thoughts she had about her son and his life. Now as a mother, I cannot imagine how she felt as Jesus followed God and triumphed over the things that he faced in life.

John Green was Joseph during second service. He was wonderful with Caroline, and he is about to have a little girl also. Her name is going to be Mary Jane, and I am sure she will be a spoiled little girl just like Caroline. This will be Tammie's first grandchild, and she cannot wait!

One of our first Christmas parites was at the Fairview Baptisit Church with my Grandma's side of the family. We always have a blast at the Crone Christmas. I enjoy getting together with those in the family that I do not get to see often. We play Dirty Santa, and it is always a blast to steal gifts and see what all people bring. Caroline got to spend most of the night with her Aunt Julie, Aunt Kathy, and Camille.
