Ever since the package arrived, Blakely couldn't wait to see what was inside. As you can see, the package held a beautiful Christmas dress. Blakely immediately asked to try it on, and then every morning thereafter requested to wear it to school. I tried to dissuade her, but she was relentless. Finally on Monday of this week, it was rainy enough that I felt like it was safe to send her to school wearing the dress. Much to my surprise, it stopped raining in time for recess...not to mention they painted that day too! Luckily for me, and the dress, Blakely is a very neat child! As always, she came home as neat and clean as I dropped her off that morning! As you can see it has a manger scene smocked on it, and it has been another way to continue talking about why we celebrate Christmas. It's been nice to hear Blakely asking questions and realizing that Christmas is about baby Jesus...not getting presents. Her favorite song from her Christmas program is "Little Drummer Boy." Now every time she hears it, she says,"Mommy that song is really about Jesus." It is amazing how much they can learn at such a young age. This year, we get to talk more about the true meaning of Christmas! Thank you Aunt Lynn for such a beautiful dress and helping us to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas!
