Our Little Shepherd!




Miss A's school put on their Christmas play and her class were all Shepherds. Last year she was an Angel and did not think that a girl should be a shepherd but I explained that I was once a shepherd for my church play too and it all worked out ok as all of the parts are important to Jesus' birth. She so very much wanted to be Mary and was so jealous of the Kindergartners with their speaking parts. I love her little school and they did a great job with the kiddos! I was so proud of how well she has learned every song and really has an ear for music more than her mother. She love to play a game where we hum a tune and she picks it up right away and then she will hum a tune and it is easily to recognize.

She is extremely obsessed with Baby Jesus and the story of his birth. We have multiple books and we visited the Live Nativity again this year at DS 1st Baptist Church. She was also given her own Nativity this year by her grandmothers. I love that she is so curious and has such thoughtful questions about Jesus' life.

As her parents our goal will always be to shepherd her to learn more about growing as a child of Christ.

I'm so proud of Ash! She is so precious in her Shepherd outfit. I love that she is wanting to learn so much about Baby Jesus. You gotta love those brains that soak it all in!
