Well, okay, a church star is born. This evening our dear little girl had the opportunity to be the baby Jesus in our Christmas eve celebration at Sunset United Church. Yes, I am aware that she is a little girl, but who cares. We're an open minded church! She performed beautifully... although she was a little wierded out at the fact that Mom was wearing a scarf over her head. She tried to pull it off, but eventually gave up and stared at the congregation instead.
She sat like an angel through the gospel and got the congregation laughing as the scripture described the little baby Jesus lying in the manger with tightly closed eyes, and Sophia was sitting straight up, looking around with eyes wide, wide open. As a story was read, kids joined us (the Holy Family) up on the stage. Sophia was just watching them and on occasion tried to coo at them.
It was a wonderful evening, and several people wondered what kind of drugs we were giving her. But it was a testament to her pretty easy going nature, and her interest in watching the world around her.
Alas, there are no photos to offer you this time. You will just have to imagine her up there with us.
Merry Christmas.
