She just becomes more and more precious! Tonight we attended our church's Family Christmas Service - a lot of music mostly with some readings. Andy and the rest of the staff surprised the church by doing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" with the handbells and wearing Santa hats! This was so fun! (Personally, my favorite part about it was that I know how ridiculous Andy felt in the hat, so that made it all the funnier!) I hope I can get a video or picture of it to keep.
Otherwise, Andy sang "Sweet Little Jesus Boy" and did a marvelous job! :) Rebecca Malphurs calls that song "an English major's nightmare" and she's probably right, but it was masterfully performed! (Yes, I'm probably biased, but he really did do great!) Andy's been going around the house singing it for a month now, so I'm a little glad it's behind him! ;)
Anyway, Anna Claire stayed in the service with us because there was no nursery last night. She was doing wonderfully sitting on my lap, playing with her rings and blanket doll, and then Andy went up to the stage to sing.....the minute he started singing she STOPPED playing with her toys and started arching her back, wiggling and SPITTING!! (BTW - if I haven't mentioned it earlier, Andy taught her to blow her lips and spit over a month ago and she totally associates spitting with her daddy.....she does it almost daily when he gets home!) Anyway, realizing that she recognized his voice and reacted so strongly to it is just another special memory for me. That's why I want to keep this blog - I don't want to forget anything, and my memory is just dreadful.
After the service, Andy was in the mood to sing some more - so off to myspace karaoke he went. Anna Claire decided to sing along - it was their first "duet!"
