The candlelight service was the first time we had returned to church in person since last March. Everyone was wearing masks and they had the pews spaced so that there was an empty one in between each row. We sat on one end and another family sat on the other end. We also sat towards the back so we felt good about being there. It was beautiful like always. This is always Charlotte and Nathan's favorite Christmas activity. While we were sitting, waiting for the service to start, a toddler from the family sitting next to us kept walking over to me. She was so cute, probably around 18 months old. She would smile at me and laugh at me. She'd walk back to her parents and then over to me and give me a piece of paper. I didn't mind because she was so sweet and cute...I swear babies/kids always find me. Anyway, once the service started, she still would walk over to me. We were praying and she was taping on my knee and trying to take my glasses then she stepped backwards and totally fell underneath the pew in front of me! It scared me to death and I yelled "Oh Shit!" During the prayer! I'm trying to get her up, she's crying, and I'm sweating bullets. Nathan and Charlotte are mortified and Wayne is acting like he doesn't know me. I finally get her up and she waddles back to her parents. I'm like please stay over there now. It was funny afterwards but gave me so much anxiety during the service! The rest of the service was beautiful. Afterwards, we went to Mama and Papa's house. We had a wonderful dinner and then opened presents. Nathan and Charlotte were SO EXCITED about their present as you can see in teh pictures. Mama and Papa got them virtual reality glasses. How cool!
