On the 3rd Day of Christmas...

Papa Rob was in a Play!!
Dear Abigail,
Sunday morning we woke up and started some major duty packing. We were headed to Munford (i.e. Mimi's) for nine days - that's right - NINE days! We've got all kinds of stuff planned, but first on the list is to see a play that your very own Papa Rob starred in. For the last couple of years, Papa Rob has been involved in his church Christmas program, with last year being the main star. This year he had a pretty decent part, so I decided you didn't have to go to the nursery and could watch it with us. I was a little nervous about this because Daddy had to stay back at home and work all week, so it was just you, me and Kate. In other words, what was I thinking! I explained to you that this was kind of like a movie, to which you asked "Like where I will get popcorn". After explaining that no you will not get popcorn, but that you would get sweets afterwards, you said you'd be good and watch the show. Still why didn't I send you to the nursery? One word - Aunt G! Aunt G was there, so she held Kate the whole time while I sat by you, holding your feet down from kicking the chair in front of you, or keeping you from standing up on the chair, or keep you from talking every time you saw Papa Rob, asking "When's Papa Rob going to come sit by us?" Overall, you did do pretty good, considering it was at night, and you are 3 years old! You really liked it when the choir would sing and were waving your arms around every time. Finally I realized you were imitating the music director!
After the show we went to a little reception (where you got A LOT of sweet, thanks, again, to Aunt G!) and Papa Rob showed you and Kate off to all his friends. You and JM got a little hyper there at the end, so we decided to call it a wrap and head home, or rather our new home for the next 9 days at Mimi's house! Mimi was super excited to see you, and ready to get the festivities started at her house. Can't wait to see what unfolds!!!
Love love love little girl!
