Bursting with Christmas Spirit

For FHE this week, Sadie and I decided to put up our Christmas tree. Charlie had to work, so we decided to suprise him. Sadie was a big help and liked hanging the ornaments on the tree, although she did try to eat the candy canes. I got out the Nativity set and Sadie had fun saying all the sounds of the different animals. I told her that the little baby in the manager was Jesus and she seemed puzzled at first, probably because all of the pictures she has seen of Him are from when He is older. I told her that Jesus was once a baby like her and he went "night-night" in the manager. She looked at me for a minute and then ran to her room and came out with a blanket. She handed it to me saying "kie, kie" which is her way of saying blanket. She was pointing to the Nativity and I realized that she was bringing a blankie for Jesus to go night-night with. I thought it was the sweetest thing ever. I think that Heavenly Father gives us these moments to remind us how special our children are and how we as adults should be more like a child. Anyways, below is our Christmas tree.
