*SIGH*

I’m breathing a sigh of relief this morning. Last night was our big Christmas dinner for the women at church (Enrichment Night). I was assigned to decorate last week. And also asked to make 70 ornaments to give as gifts. They were based on the first "carol" and ornament in THIS book, The Forgotten Carols. I also spoke. So, since Saturday, Derek and I have been cutting wood, sanding wood, painting, staining, drawing, chalking, screwing and tieing these ornaments. LOTS of work. Yesterday I spent almost 5 hours setting up, getting ready. The evening was a big success and I felt really good about it.

But I have completely neglected my family, the laundry, the house, and the Christmas shopping…so I must get BUSY today.

Caleb was a very sweet angel in his program Monday night. Seeing lots of little ones sing Silent Night with sign language is just about the sweetest thing imaginable.

And I bought Samuel his very own Little People Nativity, which he loves.
