The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 14

Today our “special thing” was our Christmas program at church. I think it turned out really nice considering we practiced so little. John bought us a backdrop and that made it look a little more like Bethlehem. The kids all remembered their parts and solos and little Archie was so good. The day started out very hectic and difficult and we were late getting out of the house. I was not feeling like it was going to be great, but I was pleasantly surprised.

I am so glad we decided to do the program again this year. We had so few kids that we almost didn’t, but then decided to go ahead and do the best we could. It worked out. We ended up with Reagan being able to be in it when we originally thought she could not and then Anna volunteered Archie. It was nice and I was proud of all the kids.

We went to Agecroft Hall right after church so we were late getting home and I didn’t get my pictures on the computer till late. So, I haven’t even looked at most of them and I’m going to post just a few tonight and maybe post more tomorrow. Too tired to go through all of them tonight. It was a very nice day.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 13

Today we stayed home all day and wrapped presents and listened to Christmas music and just spent time together. It was a pleasant day. I had a lot of deliveries today and I wrapped them as they came so it would be done. I am trying as hard as I can to have everything wrapped and ready by this coming week so we have a few days that I’m not wrapping and shopping and running around. Today our “special thing” is very small again. I had Archie today and so we had our “special thing” work around having a little one here. We decided to read some of our books together and some of the girls picked out a few and I read. Archie listened for a little while, but it didn’t take long for him to grow bored. So, we didn’t read a lot but we did read several of our favorites. It was nice and we love so many of our Christmas books – they are like old friends. It was a nice evening and now we need to gather up everything we will need for our program tomorrow.
