The church is still in tact!!

Yes, we did light the advent candle at church on Sunday morning and the church is still standing! No need to call in a fire insurance claim. We did the divide and conquer thing - Mike and I each took a Little's hand and let Morgan light the candles. After lighting the candles, Rylee did her little skip/bounce up the aisle - hair bouncing and all - while Ryan was attempting to lead me up the aisle by pulling my hand as if it was a wagon handle. All was good - Candles lit and no major catastrophes!!

Sunday night, we returned for the Christmas music program. Overall, it went great. Ryan's feathers got a little ruffled in the middle of a song as the little boy next to him was talking to him...So, in the middle of one of the songs you heard "STOP!" from Ryan followed by a less than happy face to the child. Rylee was socializing and singing so that we could "see her lungs". For one of the songs, Morgan's group (4th and 5th graders) sang along with the adult choir from the balcony and it sounded so angelic!!

Two more school programs, a Keeping the CHRIST in Christmas workshop/presentation to present to a moms group in our area, school through Tuesday, and a couple of Christmas parties to go...
