Christmas Eve and BANG BANG BANG!

Merry Christmas, everyone! We're behind on shipping gifts, so you'll have to consider this blog update one of your presents. Hehe!

We went to the 4:30 Christmas Eve service tonight- Liam's first time at church and he only peeped twice- and were informed by Care Bear that, "I want to stay." Apparently she had a good time in the nursery with the zillions of boys who were in there too! There were also Salvation Army folks with their kettles (so she got to throw in coins) and a man in a snowman outfit that she got to tickle. She wished some people, "Mawy Keemis!" and is getting very excited about presents. Tomorrow will be really interesting. We've been trying to focus on Baby Jesus being God's special present to us and I think she gets some of that, but how do you really explain God to a kid when they don't even understand everything they can see? If you've got any ideas, lemme know.

She calls Raggedy Ann "Roggy Annie" and has been having a good time sneaking into the last of the semi-sorted moving boxes in our basement. She found a children's book about Raggedy Ann, so that's been a big topic around here lately.

Sharon stayed over last night after a wedding she went to, so of course we were asked where Noah and Charlie were. It was okay that they were home with Dow =) Next time all four of you have to come! We love having you!!! Hope you got back safe, aunt Sharon, and that Karoly has a super birthday tomorrow. Your card came today too, right after you left!

And the BANG BANG BANG part (to end on a bang, hehe) goes back to Care Bear's haircut. I told her the fringe in the front is called bangs. So every time we talk about her bangs now, she smacks herself in the forehead and calls, "BANG BANG BANG!" It really is funny, and Sharon said we had to blog it, so there you go.

Thanks for joining us on this Christmas Eve of 2005. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
