First Sunday

Sunday, November 29 was Gracelyn's first Sunday to attend church. Due to sickness, either she or myself, or both, or lack of sleep, we had yet to make it since her birth six weeks prior. We still have yet to make it to Sunday School at 9 but the fact that we made it to the worship service at 10:30 with both of us looking presentable was an accomplishment in my book! I kept her with me because I am not ready to take her to the nursery (and honestly don't know when I will be able to considering she is my last little one!) It will happen though because the ladies in the bed babies room are wonderful and nurturing and they are anxiously awaiting Gracie, even after finding out that she is a little on the spoiled side.
Here are some pictures of her in her dress and tights! That evening at church was our annual Trimming of the Tree service. Families sign up to go up on stage and have one member of the family read an assigned passage from the Bible pertaining to the birth of Jesus Christ and another family member hangs a corresponding ornament on the tree. Brandon of course read our verses while the little boys assisted Ryan in hanging our ornament of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus on the tree.
I don't have a picture from the service, thankfully we performed our part without any disasters that I was fearing all week long. I took a picture of Gracelyn before leaving. She refused to look at me, preferring the Christmas Tree instead and slept through the entire service.
