A few years ago when Mike and I first moved to Virginia our new neighbor Melinda presented this lovely lighted nativity scene for Christmas. Since then each year at Christmas we proudly display it in our entryway so we can share it with all of our visitors.
This year Griffin took notice of it for the first time.
Everyday he would run over to it and I would explain that it was Baby Jesus and soon we would be celebrating Baby Jesus' birthday. I honestly didn't think he had a clue what I was saying and he just liked it because it was lit up and pretty.
Christmas Eve night Mike and I were walking Griffin upstairs to go night-night. He got to the stairs, turned around and ran over to the nativity and said "Bye Bye Baby Jesus" ... oh my gosh ... Mike and I just looked at each other like ... did he REALLY just say what we think he said.
It was the sweetest thing I've ever heard.
Such a sweet little gift of a memory from Griffin.

that is so sweet! My nephew, who is 2, sang Happy Birthday to Jesus on Christmas Day and I thought that was pretty sweet. I love when kids first really take notice of Him!
