Twas the...

Night before Christmas and all through the house ... and so begins the mass assembly lines of carriages and high chairs, blocks and toys, to try to be done in time to sleep.

We had our own Christmas eve service at home tonight, including some centers for people to do crafts and such. Yes, that was Blakely's idea. We wrote down on a pad what we were thankful for, and then got to color and stamp it with her new materials. We then tried to have a candlelight service with songs and scripture .. but that really doesn't last long for 3 kids under 6. Hopefully it will be the thought that counts, as we try to continue that tradition thru the years.

Ok, back to work. (Stay tuned for pictures and another post I've been thinking about concerning the merriness of Christmas)
