Jesus and the rooster

We love our church. After going there for nearly a year, our favorite part is that it's not crazy. That sounds like a really low threshold for success, but it's kind of a big deal here. All the services have been great during the holiday season, and they hosted a special Christmas night just for little kids.

The children were all supposed to come in their little pajamas. I didn't really get it until we arrived. Every kid - seriously, every single kid - would be passed out in the car before their parents drove home.


They had all kinds of crafts for them to do, and there was a very short, very cute Christmas pageant. Mia ate cookies, made decorations and (her favorite part) saw the animals in Jesus's stable.

One of the activities was to ice your own cookie. Mia was only so-so excited about this.

UNTIL she discovered that she could use her little knife to just put icing directly into her mouth. I was so proud. She truly is my child.
