.....and I'm making a pot of coffee. It's gonna be a long one. :-) We went to a candlelight service at church tonight which was very nice. It was at Living Word Community Church where I used to go years ago before I moved to Alaska. It's where I want to become involved when we move back here to PA next summer. On the way home from church (around 6), Liam fell asleep. He slept on the sofa for a long time which made me nervous because that meant he'd be awake for a long time tonight (which he is right now! lol) The kids made snacks and cookies for Santa then put his plate out with a glass of milk. Aidan was more interested in chewing the wrapping paper and trying to pull the tree down than anything else. I did manage to get his new pj's on him,
though. After baking, Granny read, "Walter, the Farting Dog" to the kids (so Christmassy, ya know) then it was off to bed. I'm currently guarding the room while they attempt to fall asleep. I still have presents in the car to wrap but I don't dare leave them alone in the room. Those kids are too creative and intelligent. lol Josiah went to the movies in Hunt Valley with Aunt Nola and they just got back. Liam is singing to himself now and doesn't sound even close to falling asleep. Ah, the magic of being a kid the night before Christmas.The only thing missing from this family scene is their Daddy. Wherever he is, I hope he is safe and happy. Christmas just doesn't seem the same without him. Tomorrow morning will be hard because he is the one who always keep the chaos in order with gift-opening. He's my right-hand man on Christmas mornings before I've had my coffee and the kids are all wound up. lol I'm feeling sentimental right now. It wasn't all bad with us. In fact, there was a lot of good. I have a lot of very happy memories that I don't want to forget. Wherever you are, Honey, I love you.
