An afternoon with Sierra

Yesterday afternoon, after Christopher was well rested from his big morning with Santa, my little sister, Sierra, came over to play with our big boy. For those who don't know, I have been involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters of KC and Sierra has been my little sister for over 2 1/2 years now. She has been so excited to see and play with Chris for a while now and yesterday she got her chance. Aside from cooking and art, one of Sierra's great loves is playing with babies! When Chris woke up, Sierra got the chance to feed him a bottle and he took it from her like a pro. After he was done, she read him a story about monsters and made him laugh by tickling his tummy. When we brought Sierra back to her house, she got to sit in the back with Chris and keep him company which he absolutely loved. It was a fun afternoon for both the big kid and the little kid! Today, we finally returned to church and figured we would go to the early service. Well, I guess it's been a while for me at least because I thought the service started at 9:30 when, in fact, it started at 9. Oh well, we made up for it by staying after for doughnuts. Chris slept through the whole service except he would stir every time the band started playing or people started clapping--then he would fall right back asleep... After church, we went to Babies R Us and picked out a cute little outfit for the baptism in a couple weeks. It was a busy morning for the family! Now we will veg and watch some football.
