Angels we have heard on high

Tori's absolutely favorite Christmas song is "Angels We Have Heard On High". Sort of an interesting choice for a two-year old, but I think we sang it in church once and she really liked the "gloria's" and from then on she was always asking me to sing it to her. This video is from Christmas morning when we asked her to sing it for us.

Our little Angel

John just got a few days off for Christmas so we decided to stay and celebrate Christmas in Iowa. Many of our friends also stayed around, so we all got together for a Christmas Eve party and had the kids dress up for a live nativity. When I asked Tori what she wanted to be for the nativity, she said, "Baby Jesus". After explaining to her that she was a little too big to be baby Jesus, Tori's then decided she wanted to be an angel. The following are several of the pictures taken of Tori as an angel and the whole group as the nativity.

The ingenius idea for the halo made out of a coat hanger taped to Tori's back was all John's. We thought it was pretty cool, but Tori wasn't quite sure what she thought about it.

Anne & Andrew were Mary and Joseph. Tori, Hannah, & Rowan were Angels. Megan & Anna were wise men. Claire was a sheep and Ronnie was a shephard.
